Did you not fancy some high rise bars?

That will be a total blast. Looks good and that rear suspension is the business.

Not a MkIII, but 6'3" and ride a 6Point - fits good. Could poss get away with a Medium Sunday, but if you need to sit and pedal then I'd say go for the large.

Even better would be to test one - or ask to borrow one off here maybe?

Im 6ft 1 and had a 19" 6point last year, felt fine for general trail centre's etc. If youre going abit more hardcore it may be a little on the big side.
