    Any 6' cotic owners??

    After much deliberation over bike frames (full sus/hardtail, steel or Alu etc.) I'm finally settled on a cotic soul/BFe (Probably a BFe given the size of me). I fall right on the line between a medium (17.5") and large (19"). Anyone got any idea which way I should go??
