I'm 5'10'' and am thinking 20 or 21 inch would fit me, but I typically like bikes on the smaller side.
I generally ride 64cm/25" road frames and my 23" Cimarron fits me the same way, about 34" standover height with a 1.95 tire on it. I can measure more precisely if you like. The frame has almost no BB drop so it's a big bike.
