I'm your height slightly shorter leg and I've got a medium, although i purchased second hand and I used to ride jump bikes so didn't want a gate.

as far as i know most santa cruzes come up short on the TT side of things. I'm 5"8 and my medium heckler is "chuckable" to say the least so i run it with a layback seatpost. i'm more of a 30" inside leg. i would say go for the large unless you like your bikes to come up small but to be honest i think you'd be cramped on a medium

Yep thats a good deal there going for more than that on ebay, i bought mine for £350 the guy had owned it 2 months and used it maybe 6 or 7 times.

i'm still building it nearly there. there is a tech sheet on the santa cruz website for the ebb if your new to them like myself.

nice i have white i'd have loved a red or green one but when your buying second hand you can't be picky. I believe Jae is saying a large would be right for you.

SlowJohn, I'm pretty much the same height as you, and my Large is almost spot on with a layback seatpost and a 90mm stem. Mind you, mine's mostly for XC, not chucking about
