    Just sent back a medium frame because standover height was non-existant, and I'm 5'8" and 30" inside leg. So I would guess large would be the right size for you.

    Good news is that Wiggle are very good for exchanges/swaps, and with the Focus bikes you can test them for 7 days then decide whether to keep, return or swap for no cost.

    Also check out the black forest expert, upgraded spec and at the moment only £24 more. There are a couple of other threads about these bikes if you do a search.

    Difficult to say. Top tube length is an important as frame size when it comes to choosing a bike I reckon. Any chance you can get to sit on one?
    You only need two tools: WD40 and Duck Tape.
    If it doesn't move and should, use the WD40.
    If it shouldn't move and does, use the tape.
