Woman's Hybrid for a man?

Q. This question is for you commuting riders with some expirence. I'm currently looking for a hybrid bike for 7-10 mile treks. I'm 5'8 200 lbs and have a narrow shoulder width compared to guys my size. ( barrel chested) My inseam is only 30 inches I find that a lot of mens bikes are just to longor tall for me. Recently I have discovered the Diamond back Clarity 1, top bar style womans hybrid/road commuter. This bike in the 18 in frame size seems to be a great fit and the color scheme isn't that bad gold/blk. Anyone here have the same issue, opinons? I figured shaved down of the stickers it would be fairly unisex'd

Answer

Looking for a bike. I'm a male. I am looking at street bikes or hybrids. Some bikes I've tried are too big, but I don't know what size they were.

Answer
At 5' 5" tall in a hybrid - most likely a 15" frame. Depends on manufacturer. Always try before you buy.
