i suggest you put all of your questions into 1 post. I also suggest that you look back on prior discussions because i know the seat one has been discussed. You could stop by the LBS and figure out the frame size and you'd be a lot more informed rather than asking people to answer questions specifically to you

what bike...what style of riding...what fit are you used to. There is no set way to fit a bike. It takes knowing what you want to do, what you like and what you are used to.

People (well a couple people) have been telling me to sell my DiamondBack frame, because apperntly it's not "the best" but im such a lightweaight guy, (123lbs) and i woulden't want to sell it, because that bike is feather light, i could litterally lift it with a finger, and the frame is very, very strong. Personally i would reccomend a Diamondback frame, because of your light weight. If you really want to spend the money, go for a Diamondback from the XTR series, but if you want a good bike, with endless modification possiblities, get a Diamondback from the Mountain Performence series.

For casual riding usually a medium. But it depends on the fit of the bike.
