I'm just browsing on eBay & other net sites at mountain bikes.
I wear a 32 or 34" leg on jeans.
I will be going to a shop, but i'm just browsing tonight and the shops are shut.
So if your about my height/leg length or work in a bike shop etc, can you reccommend awheel/frame size.

just go for one with 26" wheels cant realy go wrong no matter what bike im 6ft 2" and ive got a 26" wheeled barracuda jagabat jump bike, as long as its not a kids or junior bike it'll be fine. and you can change the seat height anyway.

You should read here what the bearded weirdo says, as it is all good:

I myself am a road rider and the same height as yourself. I ride a 58cm road frame. Mountain bikes are sized differently, so read up at Sheldon's site.
