bike size
 
I have had my Specialized Hardrock for a few weeks now. I bought it used, its a size 15. I was wondering if I'm to tall for the bike..I'm about 6ft. I like the bike, the only thing is I gotta raise the seat kinda high if I'm gonna be doing a lot of riding. I really like it when doing technical stuff since its easier to handle than a larger bike (my old gary fisher).

Thanks,
Salt

I think a 15.1 is a little small for your height. How much seat post is left? Do you feel cramped on the bike? I guess if you feel comfortable size really does not matter....right.

It's at the 6inch mark on the seat, so there is 5 inches left on the seat post. I guess the next bike I purchase I will try out a larger size first.
