Any 5'8" owners out there? If so what size frame did you go for?

I was thinking 16" as it has a looong top tube and I like my bikes on the smaller size. I would definitely want to try it out but will probably have to travel to find a bike shop that had one as a demo.

Evans cycles do them. Tested the full bike bought the frameset. Went for the 19" with a 35 mm stem and straight bars, 5'11".

I went for 17" with a 70 mm stem, I'm 5'10". Still the longest bike I have. Whereabouts are you based?

frood/mccett, any chance you could measure the ETT of your frames? Have heard that the geometry charts on the Genesis website are wrong, and the 19 actually has the ETT listed for the 17.5.

I'm after whichever frame has the 611mm ETT
