Yeah, make it strong!
I ride a 20.625 and I'm about your size, but most people will tell you to for a 21" or so.

20" or 24" wheels? And what's your budget, and what do you plan on doing with it?

My 44" top tube trumps all.

I'm running a Deuce Deuce at 6'2".. and it feels 'almost' too big.. but its a nice frame.
I think I'm going to put a short (47mm) stem on it.
(I was riding a 21" frame before and it was too small.. so a 21.5 would probably suite me best)

thanks for all the info. i have a 26" mountain bike that has a 20.5" top tube an that fits pretty well. i think a 21" might be a little more comfortable. thanks again

first off, the most important thing is what is comfortable for you. next is how big you are. i know you said your 6 foot whatever, but i know people who are 6 foot 2 with short legs and big torsos and then i know people who are 6 foot 2 with long legs and small torsos. try riding some other people's bikes and stuff and shop around.
