    I'm 6ft 1" with a 32 " leg was a little concerned with the standover height on the 19.5 but then again thinking the 17.5 may be a tad small , I have the build I want a quoted for by merlin just been holding back due to what size to get its driving me nuts , ha 🙁

    What fork are you planning to put on the frame? If its anything close to the max (130/140mm) then you might want to go with the medium if your concerned about stand over as this will jack the front end up a bit higher than if you were running a 100mm fork.

    There is only half an inch difference in top tube lengths between the two sizings so ride wise, I would imagine they are very similar.

    Just stop messing about and get one – you are missing out on some cracking riding 😉

    I'm 6'1" (33" leg) and ride a 19.5" and I run a 350mm seatpost at about it's limit, if you're much shorter I'd go with the 17.5.

    I'm sometimes at cannock but live over in Notts – you're more than welcome to swing your leg over

    Not for at least a month as I've got June booked up with various events + family commitments.

    I work south of Leics (just off J20 of the M1 if you're passing) if that's any help

    It would suit me best to either be at my office (lutterworth) around 5.30 or the M1 services around 5.50, don't mind which. Drop me an email with your mobile and we can sort it out.
