I'm 5'10" riding a 16" bfe and 18" commuter, contemplating going up a size.
6ft4''............21'' offroad.........24'' on road.
6 foot 3 - 20inch off road - 58cm on road
5 feet 8 - 17 in off-road, 52-54cm on road
6 foot 4
19" or 20" off road
60cm cyclocross (don't do road)
6' 1" - 20" off-road and 62cm fixie on road.
Not quite 6ft, but with a long inside leg (34"), so fit is a hard one with me.
My Kona HT is a 19" but to make it right it has acres of seatpost and high rise bars. A 21" would probably have been more suitable, but I didn't want a gate.
My '06 Enduro was a Large, as is my '08, but I still have a load of seatpost and short stem, as they are quite long anyway and the short torso doesn't help.
5'11"
Medium full suss
17.5" full suss
19" HT
22" SS (bit big for me, comuter bike)
56cm road bike
54cm TT bike (bit small for me)
17" HT retro-bike
Unicycle - how do I measure it?
5' 10" ride a medium (17.5/18) mountainbikes and a 54cm road bike.
6'1"
16"/17" MTB
56cm Road
So i am perhaps a bit small, 17" or 17.5" better.
keep the 16" BFe the larger size is a barge.
5ft 7
16" Full sus
Did have 17" and 17.5" hardtails but sold them
48cm road bike (compact framed)
keep the 16" BFe the larger size is a barge.
was thinking soul or simple after summer though i think.

6'4''
19'' Heckler
17'' Alpine

[edit]
I reckon if you're really using the Bfe for what it's meant for 16'' would be right, if you want to go more XC then a bigger size would be a possibility. imo etc.

snap, same out of proportion body as you. Usually pick large and reduce the stem length to suit

20" commuter

17" dialled apline with loooong seat post
I had a conversation with someone last night about bike size and the seat tube length isn't the only way to measure a bike size.
I've just found out both my BMX and my Soul are the same cockpit size by some wierd coincidence.
