Sounds about right to me. Mine is a 16" with a long post and i`m 5-10. Thing is the seat drops right out of the way and then it rides like a BMX. They are quite long in the top tube as well so choose your stem length wisely 😛

dunno, I'm 5'4" with 30ins leg (jeans) and ride a 16in 456. I do have the saddle slightly forwards and a short stem. It does seem to be a tad longer than the average bike which I guess is what helps it feel stable and grounded.

here's a pic of me on it...

Anyway I've got the 14 inch too.

Im 6ft2 and ride a 16". Why? The top tube is VERY long for a 4 5 or 6 inch frame IMO.

I think you'd be on a 14" - perfect.

I normally don't mention the 3/4 and quote myself as 5 ft 5, but in this case total accuracy was necessary!
