What Length Stock Frame?

Hey im getting back into trials, i used to ride a monty X-lite 1996 model (i still have it).

Ive come here for some advice on what length would suit me best. Before i stopped riding i got myself a pashley 26mhz altho i didnt do much on the back wheel as i was still trying to get my confidence back after breaking my ankle quite badly (i was in hospital for over 2 weeks). i loved that bike untill it got robbed by some expleative! anyways...

Im looking at the new pashley, the 26ghz but im unsure about the length of the frame. Im 6foot 6 tall and no im not joking. Is this a good idea to get the pashley? is it crap?

Im now 'old school' in terms of riding as ive not riden in years.... no bash or pedals touching?!? whats that all about! OK so my other option is somthing longer... what do you lot think? a 1100 wheelbase or a shorter 1040-50 (pashley 26ghz)

My style of riding is quite competition as i dont do any manuals or 360's or well anything that not needed to be done to get the job done. I dont think i will be doing any competitions though. i just want to build myself a masterpeice and go out to have the joy or riding again.

gimme some advise people.

If you go onto tartybikes and have a look at the 07 Adamant frames, i think this geometry would suit you very well. And better still, no one has ever broken one, and they have been ridden by some beasty riders (Ben Travis and the like) If not try the control or pitbull, they are both really good too.

EDIT: get the long ones BTW
