Hi
I'm 6'1" and am very happy on a 19" Stumpjumper HT.
Will be mainly for XC/endurance.
Cheers

I'd say look at the eff top tube length and go for similar. The Kinesis comes up quite long, because it is designed as a flat-back race frame - you might end up with a slightly smaller nominal size and a bit more seat post extension to get the stretch you are familiar with.

I'm 6ft, ride a 19.5" (large) Stumpy FSR and have a 19" XC Pro II. Seems to fit me fine.

So is the XCProII a long flat design like the Stumpy or a scandal?

Bit more stretched, designed for shorter fork. So, yes.

Anyone in the London/Surrey/North Downs area have one in 50/54 size I have a spin on?
