Well, I went ahead and got the XL Mythique VRX and it arrived on Monday.
The size feels fine but holy crap does riding a fs mtb feel weird after 10 years on a road bike! I'm going to give the 800mm bars a chance but I think I'd like to cut a few cm off eventually. I need to figure out my position a bit too, for some reason I keep ending up with my foot too far up the pedal when climbing. Also, the dropper fits right down into the frame on the XL but it isn't high enough when fully extended, I can pull some of the seatpost out but then when it's dropped it isn't as low as it could be. I'm wondering if one with more drop might be useful in the future...
That aside, it's great fun! I almost feel like I'm learning to ride all over again.
