    You would definitely need to ride it to see if it fits you, but I would guess generally that you would need an XL frame.

    PedalOn have the Cannondale RZ120 3 for £1,599:

    PedalOn give "Podium Points" away with all bike purchases, you can exchange those for equipment in the shop which might be usefule to you if you're just getting in to mtb'ing. Check their web site for details.
    XC: Giant Anthem X
    Fun: Yeti SB66
    Road: Litespeed C1, Cannondale Supersix Evo, Cervelo R5
    Trainer: Bianchi via Nirone
    Hack: GT hardtail with Schwalbe City Jets

    What riding do u do?
    You need to test some out, that's a lot of money esp for a first bike so u don't want to get it wrong.
