Mine is a Large, FYI. Those pictures above were taken prior to a frame trade.

I'm just at 6' tall, a hair under, and I think the bike fits me just right, my neighbor, who is 6'2" and lanky is way to small for my bike and would more than likely need an XL.

A riding buddy of mine just picked up a Prophet in CT for $400. Yup, thats right, and it was perfectly ride-able. It was used (duh), and had some miles on it, but the PO had just rebuilt the lefty fork, and then went out and bought a Rize.

The Prophet is a nice, pretty plush bike. Be warned, although the lefty fork (preferably one of the SPV units) is nice and plush, they are also problematic at times. Apparently the seals leak like an old Triumph, that's actually how the bike was so cheap. The PO thought the fork needed to be re-rebuilt but it hasn't had a problem in the miles put on it since.

The bike climbs pretty well, but the long wheelbase can make some of the tighter technical stuff more difficult. All in all, its a nice bike. I rode it for a little and enjoyed it.
