What size mountain bike for a 5' 8" lady?

Question

i am looking on ebay for a ladies mountain bike. I am 5' 8". What size frame should I be looking for?

Answer 1

I'd say a 17.5 - 18 if you have shorter legs, go up one size if you are long-legged.  

Answer 2

Kind of like asking what's my shoe size.  Every body is different for the same height.  You need to find your inseam measurement.

This link will help you find out the proper frame size.
