thanks for your reply. though, it felt okay when I rode the bike, but I know that the conventional wisdom says its too big for me. is there anything I can do? I really like the looks of the frame and I the height of the front end of the bike. it allowes me to ride on a more upright position.

I would think that an 18" frame would be perfect for a 6'er. but, you are right it depends on the geometry and type of riding. I personally like a little larger frame(hence I ride a 19" instead of a recommended 17.5" or 18"), probably a "little man syndrom". but hay, I am still alive and have not hurt myself too badly in recent time.

thanks again.
