im in the same boat mate,looking at the 180 fritzz,looks a good bike,I'm only after a frame really,but they seem to come up short on the reach,the 18" is a small cockpit,but the 20" will be like sitting on a gate,it's all a bit confusing.Seem a bit non standard

I had a Cube Stereo HPA 160 2015 which I rode in Zermatt. Liked it and had no issues, but sold it the same season due to the geometry. Bought a slacker Transition Patrol and found it to give me much more confidence.

I had a size M and I'm 177cm tall. The reach on the Cube is short compared to other brands. I'm more confident with a bit less than too long a reach. Knocked my knees quite a few times standing but no other issues with the sizing.

x2 alloy fritz x2 carbon steroes and a gtc carbon hartail frames. zero lasted 6 months of riding each for my poor mate. (the hartail was actully about 48 hours after he picked it up and was riding round a flat park as he coudnt wait to take it out ) they eat those tiny bearings and are very tall and short. doesnt dare take it his stereo on a uplift. so makes it the most pointless 160 bike in history to me. rides his vitus hartail everywhere now.
light and cheap f#!k strong seems the cube way.
them sponsored riders must go through frames at evey race or they have special ones made up.
he is a fast hard rider tho well above average skills and speed

Haven't heard anything about reliability,but it seems there(fritzz180) are pretty uninspiring to ride,like you say very tall and very short.Why make a 180 bike like that beats me,real shame really
