Naturally sit on one but I'd say 20.5. I have a 17.5 at 5'10", I could have happily ridden a 19" in reach but not in standover so they're not the longest of bikes for their size.

I am 6'2" and have a 19" IO , but the geometry/sizing is the same as the IO ID

I find the 19" too small and wish I had bought a 20.5"

As stated above standover is fine, but the effective top tube is too short and much shorter than other 19" bikes I have.

Thanks for the advice, i'd love to be able to sit on one but nobody has any in stock.
I'm really interested in the standover height as i like plenty of gap between the top tube and my nads 😀
