Newbie asking about sizes
Hi,
I wanted a Vitus Dee 29 in 19" frame but it seems this is sold out. I'm 5'8", can I get a 16" frame one or will that be too small? Or would I be better off sacrificing the better brakes - Dee has mechanical disc and Vee has V-brakes - and going with a 19" Vitus Vee 29? Or should I sacrifice the wheel size? I've been told 29ers were great for city riding though so I had my heart set on 29. Bike will be used 3 times a week in London where it is mostly flat.
Thanks for any help, I'm brand new at this!

It appears to be in stock at Chain Reaction Cycles? 5 plus in stock unless I am looking at the wrong item?
