Don't forget they come in different lengths (wheelbases)! Depends on the year. Just so you know. :) How tall are you by the way?

Measure axle to axle for wheelbase. I'm 6'4" and I ride a 1090mm wheelbase Echo Pure, which is considered long. I'd prefer a slightly longer frame, like an 1100mm wheelbase. That's about as long as they get. The Pure with seatpost was also made in a shorter version, maybe 1060mm...I could be wrong about the exact length. Do some searching on wheelbase here before you decide on a bike.

Basically, if you're tall you might be more comfortable on a longer wheelbase bike. If you're short then you might be more comfortable on a short wheelbase bike. You're pretty tall, so a longer frame would most likely suit you. Shorter frames are more suited to streety moves because they are more flickable, so keep that in mind as well.

The older pures came in 1060 and 1080. I have the 1060 and I feel like a longer bike would be much better.

Mine's older, I run a Pure fork, and I swear it measures 1090. I think it's a 2003.
