We will be in touch
took a mate out into the great outdoors on the bikes. he is so taken he is now talking about getting something second hand for a few hundred €'s.
he was riding my small Sanderson which was a little cramped but ok for a few hours. ideally he'd have something that fits a little better.
so, just as a guide line what size frame should i look out for for someone who is 6ft?
cheers

Length probably more important than frame size and it depends on the manufacturer.
As six footer myself I've got an 18" Giant Anthem X (23.4" inch top-tube with 100mm stem) and a Large (19.5") Santa Cruz Heckler (23.5 inch top-tube with 70mm stem).
A large

id agree with that, im 6,2 and a bit and 18" are too short for me so Large and 20" for me
6 ft 2 here and riding 18 inch frames. Then again I place an emphasis on chuck-ability and have an on-one and a kona - both brands known for having relatively long top tubes.
Depends on the frame.
I have a long top tubebut it's a 19.5" and I'm 6ft 1.
Get fit, flexible and lack of a gut and a 20" is fine 🙂
I sat on a 20" on one and the post was set high but it felt good.
I guess a longer stem with an 18 would work.
Get a bike fit from a shop? £20-30? or a test ride.
6'2" and run Large or 19". I find 20" is a bit big and 18 usually too small.
A 6' I would be looking at 18" frames. Ideal.
6ft 19" fits fine
