Hi, If anybody can advise I would really appreciate it. I'm looking at purchasing a Boardman MX Hybrid Sport. On Boardmans website it says that the medium frame (49cm) is suitable for between 5' 6" & 6' tall. I am 5' 8" & have tried this size/brand bike in my local Halfords. When I am standing with my feet on the floor there is little or no clearance between the top bar & my vulnerable bits. Is this bike too big for me even though Boardmans says otherwise?? I'm worried that I go for the small frame (45cm) & it's too small. Thanks in advance.
Please help with frame sizes

As long as its pressing into your Crown Jewels you should be okay. Did you try to ride it? Above advise is good.

Has the top-tube length been taken into consideration...............
when the appropriate saddle height (& equally importantly; set-back) is decided??

I have the MX Comp in a size Large, I'm about 5ft 11, and it's about as big as I can comfortably manage with the sizes are on the large side, so if I were you, I'd have a look at the small frame.
I haven't yet, but I plan to.
Do you mean as long as it's NOT pressing into my Crown Jewels?
