    So how did it feel when you tried it?

    Measure your stand over hight and check the standover hight of the bike, see how much nutt space you have.

    Buying without trying,is a bit risky,but I reckon you`ll be OK.My mate who is the same size,used to find a 21" Rockhopper slightly small,so this should be OK.All depends on your leg to torso proportion,though.I`d make sure you are happy with it before you leave the shop.

    well i would say if anything i have a longer back than legs if you know what i mean so hopefully it will be ok ,anyway they said that was the biggest frame you could get from halfords .
