i'm 6' - 6'1" and ride a 19", loads of standover. I'm 34" inside leg and average proportion. with a 400mm post as fitted, you may well be fine on a 19", the stock stem is an 80mm so you could gain 10mm by going for a 90mm stem, obvious i know ๐Ÿ˜‰ but the frame length difference between 19 and 20.5 is 15mm - so you can do a lot with stem and seat position as well as looking at frame reach.

My mate has a 17.5" one, he's 5'10 but got stumpy legs 30" inside leg.

I must admit it feels tiny to me and I'm 5'11" with 32.5" inside leg, pretty short even compared to my Handjob
