Yep it pretty much comes down to personal preference and your own riding style .
I'm 5'10 and probably about as average size as it gets and am the complete opposite to fluffy as I prefer a 16" or smaller ; but I primarily go by toptube first then bar height from the axle . A smaller frame will be lighter , tighter and have a lower centre of gravity making it easily thrown around .
