I’d love a Stanton Slackline but at 6’ 5” am I just too tall?
I do like to ride a small bike relative to my size but I cant find a built up one to swing my leg over!
im guessing so, im 6'2 and would go for a 19'
are you hora's rangier brother?
Im 6'0 with a 34 inside leg and my 18" Slackline is spot on for me with a 50mm stem and a LOT of seat post showing
I'm 6'2" and hope to be buying an 18" imminently. I'm planning to use it mostly as a play bike for short blasts. If I find it big enough for peddling longer with the seat up then I will consider that a nice bonus!
I'm sure I read somewhere that a mate of Mr Stanton's is 6' 3" and finds his 18" perfect. I also read recently about some tall bloke recommending small or medium BFe's as play bikes which gave me confidence that an 18" Slackline should be OK.
If I was your height I'd be looking at something like this instead:

I'm the same height and got on great with an 18" xc frame. It wasn't overly efficient when climbing but when the seat was down (most of the time) it was a blast. I kept it for 5 years and eventually moved up to a 20" frame which is more comfortable when climbing as it 'fits' me, but the lack of standover gets in the way a bit for playing. If i was getting a playbike like the slackline, i'd go for 18".
I ride a 17" ns surge with a 450mm post and can ride it xc. I'm 6'3 and have a 36 inch inside leg.
It is doable, but will need a long post.
