After riding my Cannondale Claymore for a season I am starting to think that I might have to wrong size bike (too small). I looked on the Cannondale Website and they recommend a size Large for riders that are 5'11' and up but they also say that medium can fit a max of 5'11". I always seem to be just between the sizes of bikes no matter what make or model, but after seeing pics of me on the bike it just seems too small for my body since I have longer legs.
I did eventually want to get a dual crown fork and use the bike for some DH and Park riding but now I'm wondering if I should even try since the bike seems like it would be too small for that type of riding. Is there anything I could do? Switch out frames for a larger one at a Cannondale Dealer? I'd prefer to NOT sell it since I don't think i would get another again but if it came to it I guess I'd sell. Anything I can do guys? I'd really appreciate the help. I included a pic to give you an idea, sorry I couldn't find one of me actually the bike.

Does it feel too small while you ride it?
You can always get a slightly longer stem and wider bars, put a bigger fork on it, get a layback seat post etc
