Yup. I have the SS tricross. I'm 6ft 3" and ride a 56cm. So you'll be fine on it!

There brilliant fun bikes. Use mine for playing in the woods and peak district. Very competent off road [i](see link of username)[/i]

I've got to be honest. The seat just below max limit. I could probably do with next size up, but I love more seatpost sticking up.

Would be happy to meet you at sherwood pines/derbyshire, but i'm busy for a few weekends from now. Depends how much of a rush your in.

I'm 5' 10 and have a 56. I would imagine you'd be a bigger frame size.

I owned a singlecross, again in a 56 at 6 foot. Thought it was an exceptional bike, esp for the price. Lovely green colour. Are they £400 new or something like that? The wheels are fairly shyte, mind - you might need to do something with the rear after not too long.

Sold it because I wanted to do a lot of off-roading on it - trail centres etc. I was changing the chain rings that often it was getting ridiculous. Replaced it with a geared tricross sport - would have easily kept both but space is at a premium in my flat and the wife won't stand for bikes leaning up everywhere.
