David, I´m six feet tall like you and I´ve been riding a 18.75 Merlin mountain (97´) for two years. The size is perfect me. Check out the frame specs (cf Merlin homepage): 18.75 may sound rather small at first but this frame has a fairly long toptube. Stay assured - this is just your size. BTW: I use a Syncros seatpost (which isn´t laid back), a 120mm Syncros stem (15 degree rise) and a flat Syntace handlebar (swept back 9 degrees: great design - so comfortable!). I have tried out quite a few stems, even tried a riser bar once but this is the perfect seating position for me. I´m sure you´re going to enjoy this frame. Andy
