I'm 5'9", 32" inside leg and ride a 16" 456, and it fits perfectly with 60mm stem and in-line seatpost. HTH

Depends what you want to do and what your riding is. I'm 5-10 and would always go for the 16 inch as my riding is 2 to 3 hour woodsy stuff. I had an original 18" Inbred about 5 years ago and found it too long for me.

Mate of mine rides a large 5 spot but 16" 456 so he can throw it about a bit easier, he's 6ft tall

I have a Ti456 18". I am 5'10", 32" inside leg and it works for me. Run it with a 90mm zero rise stem. I do prefer a stretched out xc sort of position though.

I ride an 18" slot drop Inbred with a 70mm stem, have a 32" inside leg and am somewhere between 5' 10" and 5' 11". Fits me fine, but it always looks quite big compared to my (medium) full susser. Maybe it's the thin tubes?

Don't get too hung up on it TBH, either on can be made to fit.
