Ride a spesh enduro ,great bike but with me being between sizes @ a shade under 6ft ,6ft with shoes not sure on whether the large i ride is too big or not with the enduro having a long wheelbase/toptube?

From this crappy video ,do you think this is the correct size for me or id be better off on the medium?

Thanks

I reckon you look about right on that. Medium would be too small I reckon.

Forget about the numbers, does it 'feel' too big?

Looks ok, but a said what's made you raise the question? I'm 5'11" so fall into the same gap. I ride a medium frame but have a layback post.

There are the old alignment measures: seatpost extended to allow a heel to rest on a pedal at the bottom of the stroke, when in this position hips should not rock when pedalling, also when looking at the front hub the handlebar should obscure your view neatly. Naturally this doesn't work when you're out of the saddle!

Does it feel cumbersome? A video with your upper body would help tell posture a little easier. Also stand up in your ready position if possible.
