hey guys, im new to the xs world, just got the bike and im lookin into a hardtail section for it. ive been looking into a few different ones but need some advice. Im 6'1" and am worried about being cramped on the bike so my question is what size of stretch do you think id be most comfortable on. I was looking at tc bros but they only make a 3 inch stretch i dont know if that would work or not, im leaning towards g&l they have a 4 and 5 inch stretch, does anyone of similar height have any advice on size of stretch for me?? which company do you guys recommend as well? i dont care about price i want quality and comfort. i know i know a hardtaiil aint gonna be comfortable anyways but i wanna do all i can to not feel cramped.


thanks guys
