Tallest rider for 6.6?

Currently I ride a XC hardtail w/ 24.9 TT and 130 mm stem and I'm looking on 6.6 Large frame. According to specifications on Intense site, my height with a bit less than 6' 4" doesn't seem appropriate. The 6.6 seems quite short, only 23.8" of TT. For ex., Spec Enduro's TT is 25.7" (XL size). Type of riding: most of the time trail and longer tours. My hardtail fits perfectly so I'm a bit concerned w/ short cockpit of 6.6.

So, are there any riders of 6' 3" / 6' 4" who ride 6.6? Impressions?

I am 6'3 and will be riding a 6.6 (when I get back from Michigan this weekend). if you are concerned with the short cockpit, then why not get a longer stem and a setback post?

Well, the setback seatpost is no-go due to long seat tube of 6.6 (pic below). Maybe longer stem and seat all the way back on the rails... Anyway, I don't have any options to try the bike and see if it fits my preferences.

That looks like Hambone's bike. Sweet looking ride!

Yes, this 6.6 is ridden by one of the Mtbr.com forum member, not me

What? I don't understand why the set back seat post won't work with the long seat tube.

I would think you'd need to stretch the cockpit out a fair amount in order for a large to fit you. I'm a bit under 6 feet and the Large fits me well with a straight post and 90 mm stem. I could even go with a longer stem if I wanted a more XC feeling bike.

getting stoked.

I wonder if at 215 lbs, I am too heavy for the RP23?
