Not at all, but I'd recommend getting a frame with at least a 21" top tube for your height, and I wouldn't recommend any frames under 6.5lbs, either.

I'm 6'2" and ride a Macneil Deuce Deuce.
I freakin love it.



I find that the long rear end helps my manualling to look a little less sketchy, and the steering geometry is right for me because I don't have to tilt the bars forward.
