frame size AND the wheel size !?!? I'm female 5' 2.5, inside leg 29" from the floor up.

Do you know what size bike I ought to have?
Does the bike style make a difference then?
I think a hybrid type.

Oh and I want to buy on line, so I cant try before I buy, otherwise I wouldn't be asking! Some people just SO need their 2 precious points, eh!!

It will depend on what kind of bike you are looking for. For a road bike, commuter, hybrid, or fitness bike 29 X .65 = 18.85 or 19 inch or 48 cm frame. You want a stand over clearance of 1-2 inches.

Mountain bike 29 X .59 = 17.11 inch frame and you want a 2-4 inch clearance when standing over the bike. Women's bikes can have a lower or sloped top tube so the stand over height may not apply.

It's hard to find a decent bike online, most shop quality bikes are only sold at the local bike shops. Forge has some bikes that you may like for around $250 and should be your size.
