I have been offered a large(15") frame, but its quite far away and don't want a wasted journey if its not right. I am 6'3, do you think it will be too small for me, I have heard there not big frames?

I currently have two stp's in my garage, small and medium. Neither are mine but I ride them a fair bit. Im 5'10" and the medium is more comfortable for me. The small is tiny. If your a big guy I'm willing to bet the large will be alright for you.

Are there more than two sizes now? 07 had only a regular and large in the US.
Anyways, at 6'3" I'd bet you'd feel pretty comfortable on the large. I'm 5'6" and ride the regular(small).

Yeah there are two sizes available, 14" and 15". I had a go on a friends a while back which I thought was a 14" and was too small, but I just spoke to him and he is sure its a 15". So I am not sure.

I'm 6'2 and ride the Reg (down tube will say 15.) It's fine for me. BTW Lenosky rides the same size frame and he's much taller than I am.

The 14 has a shorter top tube, and felt a little cramped.
You should be fine with the 15.

I didn't even know they had Mediums/smalls/larges, etc, I thought they went by Long and short? Or perhaps that was the older models? I had an 05 or an 06 that I was told was a "short" which I was also told was fairly hard to obtain. It had a 22" TT and at 5'8" It was perfect! I still thought it felt a tad long, but I was on a Black Market riot the day before with a 21.5"tt and a .75" shorter chainstay.
If anyone has a "short" STP(or one with a 22" TT) that they wanna sell fairly cheap, PM me!
