I have a large mr. hyde. I find it all day comfortable and I'm 6'-1".
The only small glitch is the std. seat post is at it's max limit for my height.
I've fitted a shimano alfine hub which works great, although I have only had it for a couple of months. Don't be put off by it only having 8 gears. I ride a lot on the south downs, and I've never regretted fitting it or the lack of 27 gears.
Just make sure you use it on fast downhill section! it's mega!
