I'm currently looking for my next full susp trail bike and have a question about the geometry of my last one - 2008 Specialized Pitch. It was a medium and the cockpit felt small for my 5'11 frame (I am often in between medium and large depending on the manufacturer), especially with a 50mm stem.
When I look at the effective top tube figure it makes sense why the cockpit felt small to me, however, the "reach" is pretty long according to this page.

Is ^ that just an error on the site do you think?
