    I'm 6ft 1 " 31.5 inside leg . currently ride a 18 " orange 5 which is perfect , I've tried a 17.5 altitude again perfect and a medium whyte 19 steel which were both perfect. but I've heard the sizing is small on the cove? so not sure on the 17.5 or 19.5

    I'd go for 19.5 i'm 6ft3 with 33inch inside leg and the 19.5 was almost to small. I've sold it now because i thought it was too small otherwise I would of let you ride it.

    I'm like Steve there, 5'11" with a 32" inside leg. I have a 17.5 inch handjob and it fits me great.

    I've been riding a 19", i'M 5'11" and TBH have found it a touch too big. Changing frames currently and am going to an 18".

    I'm 6'1" with a 31" inside leg. I tried a 19" but felt it too big, so I went for the 17'5"
    There is only 1/2" on the toptube length difference between the two.

    I too like mucho seatpost.

    I'm 5'7" with a 30" inside leg and ride a 17.5", so you may want to go slightly bigger.

    I'm 5'11" with 32 inside leg and felt that my 17.5" was too short. It needed a 90mm stem to feel anywhere near normal, and would've liked to ry a 19".

    5' 8" with 32" inside leg and ride a 17" Hummer, rode a 17.5" HJ for a while. I see you mention the Altitude – I loved the 17", fit me perfectly so surprised you find it OK at your height, but if you do I would suggest the 17" HJ will be fine.

    I currently ride an orange 5 18" would the 17.5 handjob be similar?

    I think you need to go for the 19.5
    I'm just under 5'11" and would want my 17.5 to be any smaller!

    yeah my mate saw a 17.5 and said it looked too small for me but was worried about standover height on the 19.5

    I'd disagree, I'd say you want the 17.5 as I'm 6.1 with a 33 ins leg and run the 19.5 with a 70mm stem and a 350 seat post on about its limit. Next time I'm in cannock you'd be welcome to try mine but I'm not sure when we're going over there – I'm in Nottingham if that helps at all.

    Okay – I'm 5.11 and run my 17.5 with a 65mm stem……the frames are quite compact along the EFT. I've just got a 15.5 to build up with a slightly longer stem though!

    The guy that manages our shop is about 6.2 and has just gone for a 17.5 too, 450 seatpost and 70mm stem!

    If you're anywhere near Sheffield, we have a demo 17.5 you can try!
