Is this a safe place to ask about sizing? Don't worry I've already worked out I probably want a Cotic.
Having never owned a MTB I'm a bit clueless, after watching several videos it seems like a minefield... I'm a wirey 183cm (6ft) and normally ride a 56 toptubed road bike with long stem.
The bike I'm looking at is a 27.5 Cotic Soul and as per usual fall between the medium (174-182cm) and large (183-191cm) sizes. Any obvious way to go here? Normally I like a smaller bike for flickability™ but get the impression MTBs these days are longer and lower than I could ever imagine.
