Size Frame?

[Gaz Vickers]

I know every manufacturer are different, and one size isn't always the same, However - I am in the process of buying a (very) cheap Mountain Bike. Obviously used from ebay or Gumtree etc.... I am 5'7'' and just over 11 stone. ''Roughly'' what size frame should i be looking at buying? Cheers
