Bikes: Nishiki Nut! International, Pro, Olympic 12, Sport mixte, and others too numerous to mention.
It seems as if mountain bikes are measured in inches, and advertised as small, medium, large, extra large frames, rather than in finer increments (44, 46, 48 cm etc.) as with road bikes. It would appear from your height that you would want to look at either small or medium frames (probably more like medium). As Ron said, see if any friends will let you try out their bike, but failing that, I would probably start looking at medium size frames.
