Hi, I'm a smidge under 5ft6 and I bought the 17inch frame. It's a good fit for me.

Thank you I absolutely love the bike, running errands is so much more of a pleasure now, and the relatively low price and the lack of quick releases mean that I don't mind leaving it locked up in town. I am always getting smiles from people when I ride it, although in many cases the smiles are from men of a certain age smiling fondly at the bike. I don't mind.
