Frame Size   Hey Mims great question. I totally agree with what both Greg and Jeff have said here, but just to drive the nail home on sizing a downhill bike. I am exactly 6' tall and I am riding a 17" frame mostly becaus riding a smaller frame makes it easier for me to whip the bike around which really comes in handy when riding at speed. Well I hope all of our answers were helpful to you Mims.

Spectre Sport.

As a member of the Airborne Flight Crew I got to test out all the bike in the airborne line but spent a majority of my time riding on the Spectre Sport. After riding the Spectre for a few miles on the trail it was definitely clear that the spectre climbs very well for its weight, but can get a little wobbly riding fast on the downhill. Needless to say the Spectre Sport is a fun entry level hardtail that can be ridden on any trail if you just watch your speed.
