I was wondering if any of you guys have one (or something similar) and could advise me of which frame size to choose?

I'm 5 feet 9 inches with an inseam of just under 32 inches (31.75). I feel a medium may be slightly too small whilst a large slightly too big!

Any help would be much appreciated as I'm completely new to this!
Inseam is not really a measrement that means anything as far as bike fitment goes. There are a myriad of methods to determine the proper size of bike for any one person. Here is one discussion of the topic:

There really is no hard and fast rule of fitment that holds true in every case. But these sites will provide some useful info.
