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

I ride a 16. 5'8" ish. Plenty big enough for me.
5'9 here and wouldn't go bigger than my 16"
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 5'9" and have a 16" 456 and an 18" standard inbred. don't go more than 16" for the type of riding the 456 enjoys...
I'm also 5'9" and ride a 16".Not sure if it looks silly with the post all the way up, I cant see it when I'm riding anyway.
I'm selling an 18" light blue 456
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)
cheers guys. 16 it is then.... just need to find one. cheers IHN but 16 is a safer bet.
alpin - sent you an e-mail 🙂

6ft and riding a 18" SS 456, perfect to me
5'10"ish, 32" inside leg and riding an 18" ti456. Works for me.
