I am testing one of these at the weekend. What typical size would you need for a 6ft bloke?

Cheers

Anywhere between a 17 (same stretch as an 18) and a 20 depending on how you like them.

I reckon 18" would be bang on for a six footer. As Rickos says, 17 or 20 might also be goers but 18" should be ideal...

6ft - plus I generally like decent sized bikes. Had a 20" and always felt too big. Eventually sold on. Chap who had it was 6ft3 or so and it looked great for him.

6'5" and ride a 20", the 18 felt small and too compact.

The 20 is bang on for me so i reckon the 18" would be good for a 6 footer.

I'm 6' 2" and ride an 18" that's perfect. Had a 20" before and although it felt good it was maybe a little big.

6' here and rode an 18" Sub5 and 18" ST4 and rode a few 18" 5's and it felt right, but did need seatpost on max extension to work uphill.
