Basically I haven't been able to ride properly since the summer of 2007 on health grounds. As well as my fitness I have lost all confidence on a bike. I'm now able to start riding on a small scale but its coming along nicely so far, but my bottle has gone. I'm looking for something small and out of the way to try to gain back any confidence. Small to me shouldn't be a problem as I'm 6'3", so I'll be using a long seatpost to get from fun place A to fun place B. Can anyone recommend anything along these lines?
cotic soul... designed to be short (seat tube) and long (top tube), so will be the 'right size' for you, while still achieving what you seem to want.

At 6'3 I ha e to say a 29er will help your confidence!!
If it's any use, don't think of it as 'bottle' - it's just being rusty - you're actually doing the right thing being cautious. Get back out and you'll feel something click back into place every time you ride, I'm sure. Enjoy yourself, and +1 for the Soul. I've got a 19" and I'm 6'1", love it.
I've got an Evil Sovereign for more general XC type duties, but I'm really looking for something like:
