    my mate is after a HT frame and has seen the 456. he's a few inches taller than me, so around 5'9". would a 16" be about right; not too small but more chuckable than an 18"?

    is anyone selling a frame in the run up to christmas? 16" and light blue would be perfect.

    cheers

    Im 6ft and ride a 18, problem with the 16" is that you have to have a 400mm Seatpost all the way up. which in my opinion looks silly.
    I find the 18" perfectly chuckable.

    Although I ride a Summer season but very similar.

    i'm 6'2" – and ride an 18"

    GF is 5'5", and rides a 14"

    your mate sounds like a 16" rider to me…

    (the saddlle-all-the-way-up thing is an intentional design feature, a long seatpost will flex a bit more, making it even more twangy and comfy)
