I'm purchasing a hybrid bike off ebay. it is much cheaper than list price and looks pretty decent. I really only need it for recreational use and for bike trials by my house.
Anyway, I'm a female, 5'7'' with a 31" inseam including shoes.
I'm trying to decide between an 18" men's bike or a 16" women's bike. The men's is more appropriate for my height and size, but it's a men's so I'm a little bit iffy. The women's is smaller, but should still be ridable. Should I get the women's bike that's a little under my size? or....the men's, which could be a little big for me.

Thank youu
