My 18 five with 70mm stem was great but after down spec ing that I'm looking at a c456 second hand.

18" or 16" im 5'10" - thinking 18 with short stem.

I ride climbs with quite a high saddle 31" inseam but I like a high saddle.

On downs it will be dropped anyway.

If anyone has a one for sale give me a shout. Hoping to view an 18" one tomorrow.

I'm 5'10" 32" inside leg and find a 16" perfect with (I think)50mm stem.

I'm 5'9" and find my GF's 16" a bit small. I'd get an 18" if I was buying one...

5'10 and 18 feels about right... But I reckon I could probably have got away with a 16 too.

6ft, with an 18" - certainly wouldn't want to go any smaller!

5'9" here and got a 16 - BUT - I've only got it a week and on-one forgot to send the bleeding dropouts or bolts with the frame so I cant actually ride it: grrrr! My wife got it for tomorrow's birthday so shes more annoyed than me!

Anyway though - looks the right size - had a 16 mmmBop before and that was perfect.

Possibly the least helpful post ever?
