What size?

I called performance bicycle about this Schwinn I was interested in buying.
https://www.performancebike.com/shop/...estore_ID=1366
Ashley answered my call. I asked her about the different sizes, which were M, L, and XL.

I asked if she knew the stand over height of the medium frame? She said no but did some checking and then told me 20 inches. I replied, "20 inches?" she said, "Yep." I told her thank you and wished her a good evening and hung up.

Now, I'm 6'0", about a 33-34 inseam, about 170 lbs. The 20 inches she was referring to was most likely the frame size? Do all 20 inch frames have the same stand over height? How do I decide what size frame to buy?

I'd appreciate any advice.

Thanks!

I know this isn't the same bike, but the frame geometry is the same

Based on standover (which isn't really the correct way to size), you could ride the 54 (L) or 58 (XL).
