It's a Rocky Mountain Flatline Pro 17", I'm 6,2 (ish) reckon It will be big enough for me to ride?

    I'm 6'2" and I look like a bear on a tricycle on a 17" bike. There's no cockpit room and my knees hit the handlebars on switchbacks.

    YMMV depending on the geometry of the Flatline. Best bet is to try it out if you can.

    Yeah, I can imagine, I do ride a dirt jumper which is quite small, but I'm not sure what size that is. Thanks for the advice

    I ride a medium stumpy fsr which is 17.5-18 and I'm 6"2 but then I'm all legs and no upper body in comparison to alot of people so cockpit wise i suit a smaller bike.

    All i can say is try it and go, but i do personally prefer as small a bike as i can get away with, i can throw them around more :p
