    They're relatively slightly shorter in the top tube than stuff like On-ones, Cotics and that, so maybe a 19/20-ish?

    Email Merlin, and they should send you a list of tube lengths, angles etc.

    i'm 6'5" and have a 19" – it feels a touch small for me but might be bang on for you. My Merlin malt 2 in 21" felt brilliant.

    I am the same size as you and I had a 19" C-T which I felt was far too short for me.

    As ever, its all about length – the seat goes up & down! Get the eff top tube of a bike that fits you and start there.

    they are supposedly quite short in the TT compared to more 'modern' designs. Not that I've noticed significantly.

    6ft / 32" Inleg / 19" here, and I love it.

    Have you emailed Merlin?

    I did when I wanted to buy one, and they sent me the info. I bought a 15"- perfect.

    To give idea of how short they come up, my 16" Inbred 853 has an eTT that matches the 21" Rock Lobster!
