Caveat is that it will depend on body shape, preference, etc. With a 73.5 seat angle and a 59cm top tube it's on the steep and short side for a frame of that size; at 6'5" I prefer something nearer 72 and 61. YMMV.

What on earth does YMMV mean?

I believe that's "your mileage may vary"
When trying to keep down with the boyz in the hood, the urban dictionary may help us mamils.

Well doesn't everyone's mileage vary? Surely the expression is STBO - stating the bleeding obvious....
