Frame size

Hey Everyone,

I just purchased Trayl mountain bicycle from the sports authority. I love the bike but I think I bought a bike that's slightly too big to me. I'm 6 feet tall and the bike has an XL frame. I was so hyped up at the store and they only had medium and XL frames. The medium felt too small and awkward which is why I passed on it.

Overall it feels fine, I don't do much trail riding, only light trails. I recently put a new seat on and now I'm experiencing some slight lower back pain. Maybe I should move the saddle forward? Any ideas? I don't have the money to get a new bike at the moment.

Thanks,
swift
