It's not too small, Sandersons are really long as I said before... Also they have the highest BB I have ever seen which means for leasurely/comfortable rides when the seat is high it does look a bit lanky... It has a 65mm stem and 20mm of spacers which isn't excessive when you consider the headtube is only 100mm long... I'm 5'10" and it feels plenty long but at the same time chuckable when the seat is lowered. My brother is 6' rides a 16" Cotic Soul (with a shorter 50mm stem), he thinks the Life feels bigger, but it's comfier on longer rides...
I like the Olympics not had a problem with them. Slightly heavier than Crests (15 grammes maybe) but I liked the deep section and the price (CRC aren't all bad)... This'll frighten you all that rear wheel weighs 747 grammes easy to remember number (I can't claim 100% accuracy for my scales but flippin light)...
