I'm looking at the Alpitude frame as an only bike, I'm 5'8 and a bit with a set of stumpy legs at 31".

Is there anyone that is my height that owns one and what size did you go for?

I'm thinking the 18" may be a ball breaker!

Cheers

oo! me!
get the 16.5"
at 5'10" i could have gone 18", but went 16". had to buy a longer post to get the minimum insertion below the seat/top tube joint, but am otherwise very happy with it.
great frame. far more capable than i am as a rider.

I an 5' 10" with 32inch legs, 18" is the size I went for and its spot on.

I'm 5ft 10 and got the 16.5" which fits me well, plenty of ball clearance too! ๐Ÿ™‚

The seat post that came with it was well long enough for me but I did change to 710mm bars.
