So my hands have been tied a bit...

Due to a balls up (on my part!) my budget isn't going to be what I had hoped, so the cycle-to-work scheme seems to be my winner.
Am planning on the Bossnut from Go Outdoors, so my question is... Do I go for 17" or 19" frame? I'm around 5'11"
The 19" has next to no stand over clearance and felt a little long, but the 17" just felt small. Although stand over on it was a fair amount.
Also as they come in 17",19" and 21" that would make the 17" a small frame which sounds daft that I'd need a small for my height.
Any advice appreciated!

Thanks super! That's kinda what I thought, so 19" would be my size. I could always drop a stem size if I still think it's too long. 50mm to 35mm(ish) I would think.Bossnut - http://www.bikeradar.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=10017&t=13069531

I'm a touch over 5'11 and went for the 19. Standover with your feet on the floor is a bit pointless... It's how much space you have when up on the pedals that matters.
The standard stem on the 19's 70mm, so a fair amount of scope for going shorter if you feel the need. It feels pretty much perfect to me while I'm out on the trails though.0 -
Thanks oxo, hey why! Any new additions to her yet?
I was sure it was a 50mm stem. If it's 70 then there easily scope for a bit of tweeking!Bossnut - http://www.bikeradar.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=10017&t=13069531
