It's slightly too small for me as well, but I don't mind shaving the soles of my feet to make it fit!!

Dunno. We'll see if its too cramped. Kleins are wierd as that looks more than large enough considering my Attitude was a 16"!

mmm. Again we'll see. Im comparing it against other frames in terms of size. That seattube looks massive in terms of the height above the rear tyre ( I know its not the ideal way of measuring things) so it really comes down to length of stem and top tube i guess.
I know roadie bikes measure up different to mtbs but its worth a go.

I never rode a road bike before I got my slingshot and while that is too small compared to what I have been told I should ride I love the upright position and find that the more stretched out roadie bikes painful to ride - you'll love it Jez, even if it's only used as a pub/pootle bike. I'm just trying to sow the seed out doubt in your mind and then I'll jump on it!

is it sold or not?

Klein did not measure them along the seat tube but perpendicular to the top tube from top top tube down to center bb. that's why the Klein size is smaller than the standard size. the top tube of the 51 would be 53.5cm c-c, the 53 would have a 55cm top tube c-c.
it looks like the 51 but i am not 100% sure. the serial number on the underside of the bb shell may contain the frame size as first number.
cheers, carsten
