    It's adult size, all depends on your height whether it's suitable for you.

    For €80 I wouldn't expect it to last very long if you're riding on a daily basis, you'd be better off investing a bit more.

    I would not buy any bike under €400 myself, if you want any serious mileage a cheap bike is a false economy. It will not last and will not be as enjoyable even when new.

    Remember the bike scheme for work is out now.

    Depends on the bike too. My hybrid is 19", my mountain bike is 17", and if I got a racer/road bike, I would go for 20", maybe even 21".

    It depends on the bike style and your inside leg measurement, rather than height. I wear jeans of 30-32" inside leg.


    there are a few calculators
    http://www.totalbike.com/service/frame_size.php

    This tells you how to measure, note I take a 30-32" JEANS, that is not the same as this measurement.
