I've only riidden a specialized M2 Comp hardtail (8+ years)...and I'm now looking at a new FS bike. I'm deciding between the epic and the blur. I'm just barely under 6', and when test riding a large blur with setpack seatpost and a 120mm stem (and saddle all the way back), I feel really forward over the bars on descents. It feels cramped. I really like the idea of the blur, but think an XL would be too big.
My question is: is this just somehing to get used to, coming from a long top tube like the M2, or are many blur riders around 6' split between a L and a XL?
Thanks.
