Bit under 5ft 9in and 16", fits great.

Im 6' and had a 16" it was a bit small for anything more than a couple of hours. But good fun.

5'10", 16" - same as my ****
Posted 1 year ago # -
5'8" and I have a 16" carbon frame with 70mm stem - it's absolutely spot on for me. It's really comfortable and stable/controllable, if you get what I mean. No pics sorry!

Cheers, I'm 5'10" and they have the one I want available in a 16" (med?) now. 18" are only available to order.
Why, oh ******* why, does 5'10" fall between sizes!

5'6" - on a 16" with a 70mm stem.
Feels about right to me.

PP... what's your inside leg measurement?
Looking at geometry etc it seems the major difference is the seat tube length and therefore worried about amount of seatpost sticking out the frame.
At this point I don't think I also need to know which way you dress

5'11''/6ft here.
Used to be a 16 here:
Now and 18 here:
I don't really feel alot of difference on the trail, but I don't look quite like of stolen my sons bike anymore.

scienceofficer - ahem - If you don't mind... what's you inside leg measurement?
Posted 1 year ago # -
(Mr MC posting)
~5'10, ~32" inside leg, 16" 456. Sized on basis of top tube length (I like ~22.5" bikes) which is a more significant measurement to get a bike to fit.
Just provisionally sold the frame, not because theres anything wrong with just because I am a bike tart and the Dialled Alpine thats replacing it is made of pimpier tubing
original build

6.00" on an 18" framePosted 1 year ago # -
Mr MC, thanks. That garden looks like it's in the Faringdon area.
I'm thinking of easing in a Ti one and your measurements stack up nicely with mine. I generally prefer a smaller bike for throwing around a bit, but also thinking of putting in some miles on this bike.

If you'd asked last week you could have borrowed my 18", but it's now up in Derby at my parents.
I'm 6ft and ride it with a 60mm stem, I'd like to try a 16" with a layback post next year though.
Posted 1 year ago # -
I think you'll be OK on a 16in. They aren't short bikes. I use an inline post too, so a layback will help a lot I think
Posted 1 year ago # -
Well, 32.5 to 33, by the old 'book tucked up tight' method.
Thats a 410mm thomson on the red 'bred, with not much safe extension left.
On the Ti, its a 410 post too, but it is about 2 inches lower due to creep in that picture. This one is better representative of its true riding height.
Posted 1 year ago # -
6ft and 18" with in-line post, 80mm stem and Vanilla 130s. Feels about right for the more technical end of the trail riding spectrum. I do have longish legs for my height (~34") though.

I go dirtjumping on my 18" so you'll be fine on either.

Thanks people! Good job everyone doesn't just talk rubbish on the chat forum all day
Posted 1 year ago # -
No, sometimes we talk rubbish in the bike forum as well!

16" 456SS for my 5'7" of tallness.

5'9" on a 16" with 60mm stem and layback post.
oh and 29er forks for the geometry.Posted 1 year ago # -
Hey yeti
If you decide to go for 18" and your man enough for military pink colour, i've got a frame i'm looking to sell but haven't got round to listing yet.Posted 1 year ago # -
Hey, I'm about 5'8-5'9 and mine is an 18in frame 90mm stem, easton vice post. I got that size based on TT length as Brant suggested. I rode a 17in Fisher with a 23.9in TT before the 456 so I just went off of that. After 2 seasons with this bike I'm still happy with it's fit and feel, would like to get a 70mm stem tho...
Hope that helps!Posted 1 year ago # -
ONE ONE TI456 by timoreillyhalifax, on Flickr5-9 tall, 16" frame with layback seatpost. Feels great!

5'10" and ride an 18" with 70mm stem. Was worried after ordering that I should've gone for the 16", but it fits great and the seatpost still seems up by the right amount - not a massive amount of difference between the 16 & 18 all said and done.

6'2" on an 18" here.
Posted 1 year ago # -
You need to try both! Just ask.
