Hey folks...Need a little advice from the pros. I have a good offer on a Mob frame of $200 and another for 350. The first is 21.5" and the next is 22. I'm 5'11 (31" inseam) on a good day and want to use this bike for street, throw some gears on it and even just peddle in the saddle sometimes. I figure my XC hardtail is 22.5" TT so less an inch can't be a big deal. Will this thing feel cramped or be alright? I want flickability and enough space to ride. Thanks!

I am 5-9" and I rode a 21.5 Mob. It was perfect IMO except my foot would hit the front wheel on x-ups. I would say that a 22" would be the better fit given your height.

22!

I'm on a 21.5 riot. I'm 5'8" and ride w/ my toes just hanging off the front of the pedal. I can't x-up with my front foot on. And I have to ride w/ a longer stem then I'd like to..

22 for sure.
