Possibly. I'm only 5 ft 11, but I find without a high saddle position I get knee pain. But yeah it is a lot of seatpost showing.
But it's only a 10cm stem, and no setback on the seatpost, and I wouldn't want the reach to be longer (my road bike is 58 x 58cm and I'd much prefer it to be 58 x 56, but I wanted an even less stretched out position on this bike).
So it would be between the L with a lot of seatpost or the XL with a tiny stem - not a big deal really I don't think. I'm probably going to remove one of the spacers under the stem as well.
First impressions from riding it are that, thankfully the cranks aren't (yet) hitting the chainstays, and it's a lot of fun to ride. Very pleased with the build.
