Not quite 6ft, but with a long inside leg (34"), so fit is a hard one with me.
My Kona HT is a 19" but to make it right it has acres of seatpost and high rise bars. A 21" would probably have been more suitable, but I didn't want a gate.
My '06 Enduro was a Large, as is my '08, but I still have a load of seatpost and short stem, as they are quite long anyway and the short torso doesn't help.

I reckon if you're really using the Bfe for what it's meant for 16'' would be right, if you want to go more XC then a bigger size would be a possibility. imo etc.Posted 2 years ago # -

I had a conversation with someone last night about bike size and the seat tube length isn't the only way to measure a bike size.
I've just found out both my BMX and my Soul are the same cockpit size by some wierd coincidence.
