I will have to tell you what I told the last person who was interested but 6'-2" (why do you guys always have to be a teeny bit taller?): I am 6'-1" and found the cockpit layout perfect. BUT, I was sizing it with a slant toward racing. At my height, I am right on the cusp of whether I needed a large or a medium. I did end up doing a lot of trail-riding with it anyway and never found the size of the frame an issue there either. Best I can say if you know someone with a medium ASX or SC Bullit (nearly identical sizing) try it on for size.

It would be a good first-time buy IMO. Avid mechanicals are trouble-free, the single pivot frame is simple as a stone axe but very effective. The fork is actually a bit more Euro anyway, what with a large RST distributor in Germany.

I can check on shipping costs in the meantime. It's bound to not be pretty - -but you never know.
