I am a tall rider at 6’7” and a fit 240lbs. I currently ride a GT idrive size XL, but I am getting some knee pain 4 or 5 miles into my rides. I have an extra long seat post and set it as high as it will go, but still no relief. Anyone familiar with some brands that run large, or some 29’ers that are larger than average? No preference on hardtail or full susp, price is the main limiting factor. Thanks for the help!

Check out Niner, Yeti, or a custom build from a builder like Waltworks.

Also check out the Ibex 29er they have a 21 inch frame that I rode and felt great. I’m 6’3" so your a little taller but I wasn’t riding with the post up very high either it’s worth a look.
