Anthem

Thinking of buying a 2nd hand anthem frame (not the new 4" travel version) and building it up using the components from my hardtail but got a couple of questions:
I'm 6'2 and I'm guessing a 20" frame would do the job, would I be right?
Whats the tyre clearance like - currently running 2.2 Conti Mountain Kings, they be OK?
Whats the bike like to run through the winter (pretty muddy around here) as I'm wondering whether I'd always have ongoing repairs with the bearings etc - hardtails are bad enough :?:
Any help/experienes appreciated.
Cheers

I've only gone up to 2.1 tyres, no clearance issues looming though.
Wonderful bike btw, amazingly fast and well-balanced.
What size did you get and what's your height?
Ta
Are there any shops that stock older models near you?
Reviews suggest the bikes come up on the large side, so a large might be spot-on for you.
I did have to fit a shorter stem to get my position right - but the bike's never felt too big for me.
Dunno if that will help?
LBS only had an 18" which I sat on. It was too small!
Tyre clearance is pretty good, a 2.2" conti should be no problem
