I would go with something a bit longer. I would actually take a look at the Terrible One barcode, the top tube is 20.625 in......perfect! Also, give the kink fiend a look, the top tube is 20 3/8in. Let me know if that helps, I rode a terrible one and loved it, but I had to sell my baby to help pay for my DH bike, I'll get another one soon.

that's a sweet frame, great geometry. Those guys that own the company are cool, its always cool to support a small copmany like that.

I'm 6' 1" and ride a 20.5
For street a smaller bike is more desirable, I went from a 21 tt and prefer the 20.5, easier to spin and whip around. However less stable when dirtjumping. Whatever size you get it'll probably work, it'll just take time to get used to.

im 5-11 and i have a 20.5. Some would recomend a longer frame for me but the bottom line is you can adapt to what you ride. I'd say 20.5

I'm 6'2" and have ridden a 18.5" frame, 20.625" frame, 20.75" frame and the 21" frame I am currently rocking.
They were all great.
