@talltom: I'm sure this gets asked a lot (I've seen all sorts of opinions on the matter). For reference, I currently ride a V1 Ripmo AF size L, and though I'm pretty happy with the bike, I do occasionally feel like the cockpit is a tiny bit cramped (mainly on tight turns while climbing). I'm less than 1/4" shy of 6' tall and I think I have a relatively long torso for my height (31" measured inseam). By the numbers, it looks like I'm pretty bang on for an XM, but comments like @jhoerger's and a few other's I have read have me concerned that somethign about the bike's geo has made it ride smaller than it's reach/wheelbase numbers alone would suggest. I know you're taller and riding an XL, but have you heard feedback from others who were happy on a V2/AF V1 Size L who have tried both XM and L for V3/AF V2? It seems like a lot of people report that the new sizes ride shorter than their numbers might initially suggest... This has me worried to go XM if I'm already feeling like I'm just on the edge of wanting a slightly longer bike with my current size L. I probably just need to go ride a V3 in XM and L, but this new AF release has dialed up the want factor significantly. Thanks!
