How small is too small?

I'm about 5' 11' and trying to figure out whether a small Rocket26 would be too small for me.

Any owners/riders have any experience to share would be much appreciated!

Well you’re on the cusp between medium and large sizes (and newer bikes are longer, not shorter)!

I'm 6'2" and on a XL. Previous 26" was a L. I'm in the cusp of the two. At your height I'd say large with short stem.

Yes. Too small.

I’m 5’10” and find medium Cotics about perfect. I wouldn’t want a larger bike but I’d need so much seatpost on a smaller bike that an efficient seated position would be almost impossible. If I never planned to sit and pedal for any length of time I might consider it.

Depends what you want really.  At your size I’d be paying particular attention to inside leg. Mine is around 32.5”.
