I've just ordered a 16" Kona Explosif frame from a mail order company. I'm 5'7" and slight of build. The Gary Fisher frame I've been riding for 6 years is a 17" (pos 17.5) and is close in terms of standover height, yet has been a great ride nonetheless. Kona don't do a 17" Expolsif and I kinda feel the 18" would be too big. The kona website quotes the 16" as being suitable for heights 5' - 5'7" while the 18" for 5'7" to 6'. What do people think, have I ordered the right frame or will I need to send it back and get an 18".
Many thanks in advance, and sorry for posting yet another thread about frame sizes.
I'm 5'5 and ride a size 15 Specialized Hardrock, I'd say the 16" should be good.
