hello
my girlfriend has a gt aggressor 3, only problem is its a 20'' frame and she is 5foot 6'' so its to big for her, she can hardly get on and off the thing. found the same frame for sale and its a size small which is 16'', looked on evans cycles site on the bike sizing section, that says that a small, 16'' frame is for 5' 2" - 5 '6" and medium is for 5' 6" - 5' 10" so she falls into the cross over between a small and medium frame, already got her a frame thats no were near the right size so dont want to do it again!!

thanks
sam

I use to ride a 16" GT years ago and i'm 5'7" I wouldn't recommend your girlfriend to go any bigger than that.

I'm 5'7" and ride a small Avalanche. I wouldn't have chosen a bigger one.

My Ex is 5'6" and has a 16" Aggressor XCR that fits perfectly. The 18" would also have "fit" but been a bit more cumbersome feeling. I'm assuming they have the same geometry. Defo 16.
