    6 foot 4

    19" or 20" off road

    60cm cyclocross (don't do road)

    6' 1" – 20" off-road and 62cm fixie on road.

    Not quite 6ft, but with a long inside leg (34"), so fit is a hard one with me.

    My Kona HT is a 19" but to make it right it has acres of seatpost and high rise bars. A 21" would probably have been more suitable, but I didn't want a gate.

    My '06 Enduro was a Large, as is my '08, but I still have a load of seatpost and short stem, as they are quite long anyway and the short torso doesn't help.

    6'4''

    19'' Heckler
    17'' Alpine
    18'' 456

    [edit]
    I reckon if you're really using the Bfe for what it's meant for 16'' would be right, if you want to go more XC then a bigger size would be a possibility. imo etc.

    snap, same out of proportion body as you. Usually pick large and reduce the stem length to suit

    I had a conversation with someone last night about bike size and the seat tube length isn't the only way to measure a bike size.

    I've just found out both my BMX and my Soul are the same cockpit size by some wierd coincidence.

    19" Giant XTC
    58cm Trek 1200 road bike.

    Always seem to fall in between sizes.Giant needed a layback and longer post to fit.Roadbike needed a shorter stem.

    6'1" (long legs)

    18" Scandal 29er – just on the cusp of this being a bit small but fits well with a lot of seatpost and 100mm stem

    58cm CX – 56cm felt too small, this felt a bit big, went for the big, maybe need a shorter stem.

    19" Nail Trail SS'ed utility bike – never liked the geometry on this, tall and short
