Thanks.
It's my (notscrod) understanding that if you absolutely must choose between two sizes, going with the smaller size would be better, but it's like choosing the lesser of two evils. Easier to make a smaller bike big, than a bigger bike small.
Also, frame size is crucial, but can't you fidget with stem length and saddle height/fore-aft position to make it work?
