Default Frame size question

Hello all,

I am 1.80 m. tall and I have to choose between a 18" and a 20" frame size
for a Cube mountain bike. Some say I should take 20" others 18". Others tell
me it is not that all important. I am confused, wich one should I take?

Any help?

Thx,

Michel

Try them out, see what fits you best. Actually it is the length of the top
tube that is important, the height can be adjusted (within reason of
course) with the saddle pole.

FWIW I'm 186 And found a 19" fit me, but that was a Trek. I find I want my
commute bikes a little larger in the frame than my XC bikes.

Thx for the info, I 'll give them a try. Think the 18" will be the best
fit...
