    Mrs Dropoff is 5 foot and a half and she rides a 14" So yes sounds good

    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…

    From that foto you look much taller, I'm 5 ft 5 3/4 and you look wayyy taller than me..

    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!
