cheers mate ! and yeah its medium in orange sizing , its 409mm seat tube length which in inches is about 16.1 , so yeah 16 inch, Im 5 ' 11 and its fine for me , i think max you'd want to be if you still want to ride this as an all-mountain as well as pure downhill machine is about 6 ft - 6'1 , I do a lot of downhill on it and its insane , so enjoyable to ride and tend to thrash all the triple clamp riders there as the single crown forks and dhx air on the back were superbly , definitely recommend them ! if anything definitely the shock! and yeah go for it, been very happy with mine and had it 6 months now and havent done anything to it , except clean and regrease and works perfectly! this a vid of me first time on it at cwmcarn, pretty slow run but its alright and the bike was a dream going down : www.youtube.com/watch?v=eA06McD_EIQ&feature=plcp

Cheers mate , and yeah that's alright , and yeah definately should there insane! And yeah I had that decision , I think a nice colour scheme is apple green with white stickers , looks sick! But I went for the one I did as its less common and looks smart with the forks I put on, but I think the apple green does look amazing !

Perform well did it? Good to hear! Wish I'd had the opportunity to go there this year, couldn't go because my riding buddy snapped his hand off for lack of a better expression!

Yeah was awesome out there, really put the floats through hell and was amazed how they can take even the gnarliest of tracks but the suspension was brilliant out there , couldn't decide whether to go coil or air so went air. And ahh that's shame and unlucky for him! I met some Dutch guys out there and one I went riding with did similar but to his heel , wasn't good, definately going to go out there next summer though too!

Ah good to hear, I'm amazed by my floats.. thought the air spring would fade after a while riding but its yet to do so for me. Hoping to go out there next year too
