Thanks!
I think for sizing, anything over 20.25" is going to be doable for a 6' tall person. I know a guy who is 6'1 and he rode a 20" Standard 250s frame forever, and he's a _really_ good rider.
What matters most for someone your height is the size handlebars you get. You'll want bars with at least an 8" rise to them. I'm 6ft and I ride a 20.5" frame, with 8" rise bars. Although I can also ride a 21" very comfortably, I prefer a shorter frame for its handling. If I could, I'd get some taller bars. They make 'em as tall as 10", although that might be a little bit *too* high.
