Large fits me nice. I'm 5' 11 1/2".
i'm 6'1 and have a 2001 large. it was pretty big but i didnt care. the seattube on it is extremely big as zark said. it depends how you like your bike to be
6'2"
i ran a large, but after riding a few different
bike i realise i liked the medium better
the large has a quite long cockpit

getting lots of different views on this, between here and mtbr.
ive only been sitting on mine, still waiting on bb and crankset. guess i'll just have to feel it out, see if i like it big. my large enduro just felt SO much smaller, i dont want to lose any flickability. thanks for all the input.

I'm 6', and have an 03 Small, oddly enough, and it definetly feels bigger than say, a small V10. i dont have the specific #'s, maybe someone here does, but i know for a fact that the large is big for my buddy who's 6'4...
now that i think of it, height is only one varible and not necessarily the most important one. inseam right? i was just thinking holy batman if i was 6'4" this would DEFINITELY fit fine, i can stand over it finenow , just a tad nut rub but nothing major at 6'.
then i remember i had a roomate once who was 6'4", but his inseam was 33, just like mine. he just had a long ass upperbody. so he always rode the same size bike as me for the most part.
Hmm you guys must be measuring your heights with a pinkbike ruler or something... :biggrin: Seriously though, I ride a medium and am 5'10 - 5'11 and it fits perfect, if anything it rides like a smaller bike than a larger one.
I've also had lots of ride time on a large (03) and it is a little longer in the cockpit and wheelbase but still doesn't feel very different to my medium. If I was 6' + i'd likely ride a large.
If you guys are coming off smaller bikes it might take some getting used to the big one, but coming off other DH bikes I definitely wouldn't class the bighit as large (at all...)! Maybe try shorter stems, lower seat heights, and seat moved all the way forward on the rails with a zero setback post (thomson etc).

im 5'10 and ride a small with the biglink and a boxxer. I like smaller bikes personally. I am so happy with this bike after cracking a gt dhi. Takes a beating and keeps on ticking.
im rocking the 6" rear travel link right now, where do i start looking to do the conversion? i have a dhx 4.0, 8.75 x 2.75 right now.
