I would be interested on views regarding sizing for a Trek Remedy and what size others ride.
At 6' tall It would appear I am in between two sizes
19:5 Virtual 18:5 Actual
18:5 Virtual 17:5 Actual

I have tried both and they both feel ok.

I had the same issue between the 18.5 and the 17.5. I went for the slightly smaller size because I felt it would be more fun to throw around.

best to try first...they are pretty short and standard stems are too long to be useful

Having had one i would have to say 19.5" is the right size for someone your size.
Trek quote a 24" vtt for that size however mine measured closer to 23.5" which meant I had to run a long stem to be comfortable. Not sure where Trek get there measurements from but theirs were a mile out.
Work out what VTT you have now and match it to the remedy.

I'd always go long bike/short stem if possible.

same experience as geordiepaul...measured up shorter than figures given in Trek literature 😕
long bike + short stem IS way better than a setup where tt is too short and stem too long...as soon as you stand up your weight is too far over the front and it rides poorly.
As for a small bike is chuckable...don't get me started on that one! 😉
