Well these passed me by! Nice couple of bikes you've got there.I've got 2 x 19" Kona's set up like this (eg, longer forks & daft bars!) and I'm 6'2" as well
I like the bit of extra flex you get with a lanky front end, springy, handles fine, climbs awesome.
Ruddy Eckers. Looks pretty damn similar that. Where you at?
