    Yes - the 20 is a 'large' of sorts.
    (I'm assuming you are looking at a 26" wheeler?)

    I am 6ft 1, with stumpy legs (31" inseam) and the 20 fits perfectly. But I could have easily used an 18" frame if I liked a more compact feel.

    But as said earlier, try it out and don't get hung up on the number. My old Felt was a 19.5", but the geometry meant that it felt a lot bigger than the Cube.
