I am 5"3. Is an 18 inch frame size a perfect size for my height? Thank you
Answer
If your talking MTB and you want to do some hard trail riding you should be on a 15" frame max. If you're still growing maybe a 16" so it'll last your a while. If your using it for general street riding a little bigger is OK but an 18" is too big for you now. I'm 5-10 and ride a 17.5 as do most XC riders I know at my height.
If your talking hybrid bike it would be close.

Answer
A) Bike comes in only ONE (18") frame size - too small for someone 6' tall.
B) It's JUNK! You don't want or need full suspension unless you'll be traveling strictly off-road.
C) Really good full suspension bikes cost THOUSANDS - not £155.00.
D) Even if you did fit on the bike, it uses really crappy & outdated components...like singe wall rims vs. better (stronger) double wall rims. Also uses an antiquated "freewheel hub" vs. a stronger "freehub & cassette".
http://sheldonbrown.com/free-k7.html In short...the bike simply won't take the weight of a full grown man. It's designed for growing kids & teens.
If you'll be traveling mostly on paved surfaces or even trails of finely crushed stone, you don't NEED suspension parts at all. Look for a bike with NO suspension parts at all. This would be a MUCH better choice. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Raleigh-Strada-Gents-Traditional-Hybrid/dp/B00GDG5P8C/ref=sr_1_21?s=cycling&ie=UTF8&qid=1391122248&sr=1-21
And only £15 more through an authorized dealer - assembled, tuned-up, ready to go and with a local WARRANTY!
