Having decided to take the plunge and upgrade my frame, I've plumped for a Maxlite XC. I just don't know what size to get. I'm 5'7" and currently have a 16" Kona Caldera which is far too small in both height and reach (it's a long story). All opinions would be appreciated.

whats your inside leg meaurement? (thats to floor, not your trouser measurement!)

you could have short torso and long arms and long legs and a recommendation might be wrong!

I'm 5' 9" and have just ordered the 42cm. I have a 17" clockwork orange also.

I've heard that the 42 is OK for someone up to 5'10. But just wanted more views.

My inside leg is 32" to the floor.

the 42 maxlite has is almost identical to a santa cruz chameleon(medium) if that helps.
