The frame i wanted was a 18'' but none are present at the moment. They have the 16'' frame. I am 6 foot will this be too small for me? I have had a 20'' kona but was too big with little stand over height. Anyone else ride a small frame whilst being quite tall
Thanks in advance
If my balls are going to be crushed squashed, better do it downhill rather than let a gang of hoodies kick them in

The top tube dimension is usually the most important. BB to seat tube clamp means very little as the seatpost can be raised if needed.On the webpage it says "Top Tube 20.5 (centre to centre)" but that's probably wrong, 'cause that's the usual size of a bmx. A 22.5-23 inch toptube is usually ok for a guy of your height(or mine) riding XC.
I advise you to "Ask CRC a question about this product"0 -
Just rang chain reaction cycles, they said the 20.5 is the correct length of the top tube. Does seem a little small in my eyes compared to the 22 somethings that i have looked at, this of course is just on what i have read as i am not expert. Just cant take the chance of the frame being that small

They're probably wrong, that's way too short! I doubt the guys at crc ever measured it. Looking at the pictures it does seem longer than that.
It would help if someone who owned one could measure it.0
