I am looking at a hard tail frame for street and just wondering if you guys think a small frame would be too small for me? I am 5 foot 9.

Damn dude, how bout some foreplay first?

What's your inseam?

30 inch inseam, if I remember right.

probably too small. but ride it first.

Well, a 30 inch inseam will translate to a shorter upper body. Assuming your arms are proportional to your upper torso, a small would fit fine.

However, if you were going to ride XC, you might still get a medium to be stretched out for better climbing. But if you are riding street, a small will be easier to maneuver.

That's more like it...

For street/dj i'm 6'4"... and when i had a street hardtail it was a 14" seattube frame.
For that type of riding, you dont measure by size, you go by the top tube length, it means more.
Go for around 21-22"....
