I'm 5'8". Would 16 be too small or 20 be too big?The bike is available elsewhere for cheaper than on amazon but they only have it in size 16 and 20.

Check again, they are all 3 now available at another place... most frequent GOOGLE result and for 200 less than here. I just bought the large, and I am 5'10, but I have a 30" inseam and it fits ok and I have even had to adjust the seat up quite a bit more than I was expecting. I added a diamondback pillowtop saddle, since I am new to biking also and the saddle that it comes with was killing me. If you are mechanically adept, you can assemble the bike easily but it is good to have a REAL bike shop look it over, the box store assembled mine and it ended up scratched, with under inflated tires, the brakes squeaked, handle bars were not aligned properly, and the deraillers needed adjustment Check again, they are all 3 now available at another place... most frequent GOOGLE result and for 200 less than here.

I'm 5'6". The small 16" frame fits me almost perfectly. If you can it would be wise to go to a bike shop and sit on a few frames.

I just saw a small and a large right next each other at Dicks today (13 Jul) and the difference is very little. I'm 5'10" and I bought the large. Hope this helps!

my daughter is a tall4 year old and she is prob 6 months away from needing a 18 inch bike. sounds to me like you would be better off with a 18 inch

I really like this bike but if you are under 5'3" it may be difficult to adjust it for your size. I'm 5'3" and my husband adjusted the bike as much as possible (drilled new hole), and he said that was as much of an adjustment that could be made. I still need to use a pillow behind my back to reach the pedals and be comfortable.

This bike is way too big for someone that is 5 foot 2. I'm wondering if you meant 6 foot 2 ? I am slightly over 6 feet and it's almost too big for me! There are websites out there that help you determine what sizing is appropriate for your bike. You have to not measure the length NOT of your entire leg, but only up to the crotch. Go to the ebicycles website for a good walkthrough.

Im about 5'11 - 6 foot and have a 31- 32 inseam and I ride the 58cm frame. This bike is almost perfect for me but I would get a 57 if I could because the 58 seems a bit tall at times but after I got used to it, its perfect for me. I say if your legs are somewhat long/average, I would go up but I've also road a 54.5 that didn't seem too small (it was an expensive Fuji and Ive read that they are sized large) but then again, the seat was really high. If you go down, with the 54, you'll save weight but it might feel a tad too small and your seat might be a little higher than you like...It depends what you want. Personally, I would go up. How much do you weigh?

My boy just turned 4 back in November and he's 42-43 inches tall. This bike fits him perfect but then again he seems more comfortable on his sisters 16 inch wheel bike. I hope this helps in making your decision. God Bless!

Hi,In my opinion this bike might be on the small side for you. I am 5'8'' and feel just right on it...

I would suggest the 18 if you like to sit a little less hunched over, or the 20 if you like lean forward a bit. This bike seems to be larger than the other store bought bikes I was looking at.

I think it might be too small for you. I love the bike. It is built well and is steel so it weighs a bit

I would definitely say go with the 18". Unless you have long legs the 20" might be too much of a stretch and end up being rather uncomfortable

My kids are both at about 3 ft, 8 inches, and this bike (and another 18 inch bike I bought for his twin sister) are both borderline too big for them. We have the seats down as low as they will go. I doubt that it will be too small for him, but he might outgrow it sooner.

The frame is definitely bigger than 16", I am 5'6" and I have to work a little to get on the bike! I would think it would work for someone your height, but not positive.

I would go for the 16 inch. The bike has training wheels so is stable, and the kids grow so fast!

I have a 58 frame and I'm 5'8" it is too big for my height. I still ride and love this bike.

Hi.I went for the 20 in because I am 6ft tall inside leg 32 ins and the bike works well for me!If you buy the bike try and get the carry bag as part of the deal as they are not worth the $99 price tag!! brgds Clive

Hi Jennifer! I actually bought it for my best friend and her boyfriend who is 6 feet tall tested it out for me and he said it might be a little too small for him but he said since it's a 26 inch frame it might be ok. Sorry I could not be more helpful. It's a super cute bike though!

Yes, I'm not quite 5'2", and it fits me fine. There are plenty of adjustments you can make. I also think the bike is pretty quiet. Overall, I'm really pleased with it and would definitely recommend.
