iv heard couple 6' guys using 17" and they say its better to be a little bit on the smaller side with the DH bikes...

btw i want to get that same bike where and how much r u getting it 4?

I'm 6'3" and have sat on both the 17 and the 19.

At first ride, the 17 didn't feel too bad, but the cockpit was a little cramped for me. I noticed that when I was really pedaling hard, it was easy to hit the bars or shifter with my knees. I ended up buying a 19" frame and it worked well for me.

There are some guys that like small bikes, but I think they may just have short legs.

im 6'2" and i ride the 17". its a little small but i cant afford a new bike so i just make due by moving the seat back and i got a little longer stem wider bars to give it a bigger feel.

im about to put a healthy deposit on one and was woundering what the best size would be for me 15",17",19" im 6' tall
so would i be right in thinking the 17" is the best size
im only asking to make sure as this is my f1rst but not last bouncy bike =]

im getting mine through a shop i used to work at so ill be getting it nice and cheap but not sure yet as final price hasnt been decided
but there cheap enough for what u get seen them at £1200gdp on alot of sites

hmmm what makes me think 17" is because im currently riding a 24" street bike

6' tall here, and I ride a 17" (Medium) 7point.

I have ridden a 19" (Large) 7point. It feels better on the climbs, and slightly better on the VERY, VERY steep descents, but I much prefer the medium for freeriding, jumping, etc.

Get the 19, longer bike is more stable.

Krash,

I'm 6'-0" as well and went with the 17" Yakuza. The stock setup felt too low and short for me, so I went with a wider, higher rise bar and moved up to a 70mm stem. With the new setup, the bike feels a lot better.

Both 17"and 19" frames have a ton of standover so no real downside to the 19". The longer wheelbase of the 19" might be better if you ride a lot of fast, wide open runs. The 17" Yakuza feels more at home in the tight twisty terrain than skinsuit level, mach speed.

Best of luck.
