I'm a smidge over 5'8" and rode a 17.5" for a few rides - absolutely loved it, perfect fit for me.

5'11" here with a 33" inside leg, could've gone for the 19" but prefer my bikes slightly smaller and chuckable, so got the 17.5". It's spot on for me with a long seatpost and a 90mm stem.

Would say that at your height you could probably go with either, there's only 15mm between the top tube lengths which is only a stem change to be fair... Though the 16" On One you're coming off is loooong for its size, and has similar/same TT length as the 17.5" Genesis. So do you want the same length, or slightly shorter than what you ride currently, that's the question...
