[#6909734]

As it says, considering a (2014) Cube AMS 120 29er but not sure if it's maybe a little short - I'm 6'5" and currently ride (21") bikes with 640mm top tubes (give or take a couple of mm) with 90mm stems which I reckon is pretty spot on.

The Cube in either 21" or 23" sizes only have 616 and 621mm top tubes which seems surprisingly short especially with a relatively steep (73.5 deg) seat angle though I note the BB isn't in line with the seat tube so I'm wondering if their quoted angle is the actual seat tube angle rather than the effective one.

I've got the 2012 26" wheel version with 22" seat tube and an even shorter tt at 6'5 and it fits fine, not exactly an xc position but that's not what I use it for (I've got the 150 version), having said that I'm all leg so don't tend to be affected by short tt as much as most!

I'm kind of the other way around - 35" inside leg (81/82cm saddle height from BB axle with 175mm cranks) - I'm kind of concerned that a 23" sounds huge even for me and there'll be no standover.
