im 5'8 and ride a medium, a friend is 6ft and rides and XL scalpel 29er so large sounds right. I would reccomend a test ride before splashing the cash!

Large would be my suggstion, I'm 5"11 with a 32 inside leg and a medium was too cramped for me.

I have one. I'm 5'9" with a 31" leg and have a medium. It is just right for me. I'm certainly not out stretched on it so a large is probably right for you.

It's great. I probably abuse it compared to its intended use but it rides great, is really manoeuvrable on technical sections, climbs like a train and is really quick over the ground and really stable on the downs. It does flatter me as I can keep up with fitter guys than me. The only downside is it is tricky to wheely and manual, but I find that tricky anyway, but more so on this bike.
