Hi, In a moment of madness I have just ordered a Trek Remedy in the 19.5 size.
Unfortunately because most of the shops here are not going to stock them I didn't get a chance to ride one first.
I'm 6''2 but have fairly short legs and currently ride a large 2005 Specialized Enduro.
Should I try and change my order to the 21.5?
Cheers.

When you say short legs do you mean like a 30" inslde leg?
I'd say a large (19.5") would be ideal for you as I'm 5'11" with a 32" inside leg and ride a medium (17.5")Specialized Pitch.
The 21.5" frame would be like a gate!!0 -
If anything i would say it may even be too big, im 6'1" and i wouldnt buy a 19.5" frame. I made that mistake a few years ago when i brought my marin, i absolutely loved the bike but it was a little bit bigger than i would have liked in the standover and length, if i had tried one for size before hand i would have gone for the 17.5" frame.0

that 19.5" size is virtual...it is written on bikes frame...real size is 18.5...Haro Extreme X6 (2008)0

I.m 6'1" on a Trek Fuel EX7 frame size 17'5 and have to agree with jayson, much better standover and it allows the bike to move beneath you.0

Thanks Guys,
I've managed to find the geometry for my Enduro and it seems
fairly similar.
Specialized vs Trek as follows
Wheel Base (cm) 115.6 vs 115.7
Top Tube (cm) 62.3 vs 61.5
Head Angle 68.5 vs 67
Seat Angle 68.5 vs 720 -
i've just got a new Fuel EX 9 today actually, i'm 6 ft 3 and have shorter legs, but the 21.5 definately felt better for myself, as i was basicaly right in between, if they did a 20 it would have been perfect. go for the 19.5.0
