i'm 6'2" and have a 24" frame giant yukon, which is recommended for riders 6'4" to 6'6"
the bike store guy who "fitted" me for it looked me over and said i should go with the 24" instead of the 22" because i seemed to be about 6'4" to him.
well i trusted his judgement and went with the bigger frame (although i knew i wasn't actually 6'4") and i can ride it just fine, but sometimes i wish i hadn't listened to him because my last bike was significantly smaller and i kinda miss that feeling of just dominating the bike.
it's too late to return this new one now, so i keep wanting to justify my choice and find some advantages to having a bigger frame.
but are there any?
i'm sort of a perfectionist so this has been bugging me for a while now :\
