I would advise you to get a small frame then have a rigid fork, long stem and bars, strong brakes that's all...
about the drivetrain, road cogset is much better (as they say) because it has smaller cog than the xc cogset...
Safety gears like helmet and gloves...
Me, I'm still stuck with the basics (pivot, trackstand, sidehops) hope we could train together...

as for the frame!!!! the lower the better!!!! if you could get a trials frame like onza, brissa!!!!!
for cranks!!!!! get a strong cranks with a 22T ring... a 170 arm length
for cogs its for formallity to use a cogs in trials!!!!! you don't need to change gears in trials!!!!!!

I'm using a XC frame, just look for shorter chainstays and a small sized frame, good for you, cause you're a tall guy, you could easily transfer your weight with a small bike...
Good luck!!!
