should be all good, I ride a 17 and im around 6 foot, which feels perfect. They are quite long bikes though.

I'm about 5'10 (well, 5'9 and a half) and I generally ride a 17 or an 18. I'd say you'll be fine unless you're weirdly proportioned.

Sweet. Just bought a Trance x2 but have quickly discovered i like to go fast and jump anything in my way....so hoping a 223DD freeride will suit me better.
