I am 5ft7 (and a half), will an 18" carbon 456 fit me OK.
I know ideally it would be a 16, but I have the chance of a good deal on an 18".
Cheers
I'm 6ft, 32" inside leg (so a long back, short legs) and ride an 18". If you're the same inside leg as me, it might be a longish reach to the bars.
5'8" and ride an 18" though most go for a 16" I prefer the toptube length. You may struggle with standover as I don't have that much clearance
I think for most folks that'd be too big... Taste plays a big part o'course but I'm 5'10 and on a medium, i could get away with a small tbh.
you want a 16" tbh.
you can probably get a good dealon an 18" because somebody else bought the wrong size too!
I'm 5ft 9in and have a 16" with a 50mm stem
Slight threadjack, but has anyone been offered a 456 carbon 18" in matt red/black lately, especially in the South East? Mine's still missing after my shed was broken into last month.
Thanks everyone, i will wait for a 16" to become available.

Geologist,
Thanks for the link. I've seen that one both on eBay and on Gumtree - I get this brief moment of excitement when a red/black 456 carbon shows up before a look at the pictures confirms it's not mine.
I hope you enjoy the bike if you decide to buy it. I loved mine.
