Well I've tried a small one out in the shop which was the owners bike, and much as the stem was slightly different the rest was pretty much the same, tried the Medium sized one in the shop, which I nearly bought, but thought if I got the small I have a little more of a relaxed hold as I seemed to have my hands in the position where the small frame would come up to if that makes any sense at all!!! And I am shrinking and so there will be less cushioning on my @rse and that will make my reach a bit further, I think I am on the verge of both the medium or the small. And can always put the seat up and get a slightly longer stem, but you can't take inches off.

Yous sound about the same size as me Kayano 5'7" as I often fall between the small and medium size's. I always opt for the small as you can always put the seat up and get a longer stem. Plus the small size is light and as in mountain bikes more flickable on the singletrack.

Yeah I am 5'6.5" so very little in it. that is what I thought, plus it was nearly £40 to get the small ;)(Last years model, very few differences and what there is isn't worth worrying about)

KG, good decision... I have a medium Giant and am 5'10''. I was hesitating between large and medium, as my legs are so long, but the large would have been too long in the frame for my shortish upper body, so the shop adviced medium. Also, because the frame is a sloping frame, you tend to go for slightly smaller looking frame than oridnary frame shapes. Or so I was told. As in it looks smaller than it rides
