: I'm having a hard time deciding what size frame I should buy. I'm 5'10" with an 31" inseam. I'm leaning towards the 17.5" Mountain frame. Should I go lower or one size up?
Norman,
Measure your old frame first. Check out the specs of the Merlin frames and choose the size that is similar to what you´re used to. I think Merlins have quite long top tubes so make absolutely sure you get the right size for you. Six feet tall, I ride an 18.75 inch Mountain frame. But this size is definitely too big for you. You need the 17.5" or even smaller. BTW: You´ve chosen the right brand. I bought my Merlin Mountain last year and I love it.
