Nothing beats getting an actual fitting/sizing at a bike shop but to answer your question...

Click on the type of bike you want (road, hard tail etc) then click on the "WS Sizing System (image with 'get fit')" link at the bottom left part of the page that comes up. Follow the instructions...
Good luck!

What type of bike do you want? road/mountain/cross? It depends on what you want to do. If you're doing more stunts and jumps (either freeride, downhill, BMX) you'll want a shorter top tube, for faster bikes (road, XC), you'll probably want a longer top tube. Some shops should help you on size, even if you buy online. Have a friend help you measure your inseam, arm length, shoulder length, height from the floor to your neck and ask the shop. along with what type of riding you want.

go by your leg length,go to a cycle shop try a few out.if your feet wont touch ground when your sitting on it then you go for a smaller size.a shop can advise you whats suitable so you get the right bike suitable before you order it on line

best to go to your local bike shop and get fitted. it is worth the extra time and effort.
