Anyone with a Jekyll, how does a Large fit? I'm about 5'7" maybe 5'8", and can get a sweet deal on a Jekyll 600 but its a large. I will use it for trailriding and freeriding. Think it will fit ?

A 5'7 if you fit the large then those bike shouldn't be called large. I don't know exact sizing but I would assume a large is meant to fit a 6 ft ish rider well. Since you want a freeride bike to fit small it is definately too big.

Agreed, you need a medium. It's not a deal if it's not the right size!

I'm about 6 foot, and a large feels a little cramped on me.

You need a medium. Standover height isn't really an issue with the Jeckyl because of the frame design, but a large is going to be way too long for you.

I have scalpel large size. I am 6' and have 34.2" inseam. The large is just fine, maybe a little too long. So given your size Medium is a must.
