SIZE MATTERS
I’m just shy of six foot and I always ride size large bikes. It’s good to have room in the cockpit to move about on the bike to adjust balance. I’m not one who feels that a smaller bike is necessarily easier to throw around or anything, unlike some taller riders who deliberately choose a medium frame. With a longer bike it’s easier to roll over stuff too. I do have the handlebar marginally lower to weight the front tyre enough when climbing.
