I am 5'8" and the frame was slightly too big for me, so I bet the sizing will be fairly close.

When you have enough saved for your next bike, you will know what to look for.
And a side note, I was just above 250 at the beginning of the year when I got serious about riding and weighed in at 218 last Sunday. It comes off pretty quick once you get out and ride.
