    Go to a shop and try a few out (even if you intend on buying from somewhere else).

    The 48. But, it depends on the frame geometry and what distance rides you intend doing. If the 48 frame has a sloping top tube restricting water bottle size and I intended doing big rides, I'd go up a size.
    I ride a bike. Doesn't make me green or a tree hugger. I drive a car too.
