: Hi again, : I am thinking of getting a merlin mountain frameset. : I have a 30.5" inseam and weigh 175 on a good day.Question : is, what size frame. I am going 17.5 i think as I like : the ride of the larger size.Seems many on this page ride : much smaller for their size and wonder if they dont feel : cramped up in position. AND it makes me wonder if i am : not going too large.Have ridden 19 and 18 in past and can : come off saddle hard without doubling over in pain.Can : stand flat footed over top tube on these bikes and raise : front tire without cramping the jewels.That has been my : criterion,may be wrong and any advice would be much appreciated : as at these prices bummer to get wrong size. : Thanks Don
