    I've moved your post from here as you'd be unlikely to fit a 58-60cm road bike.

    56 would be a more typical size for someone your height.

    I think my brother in law might be selling his Giant road bike, Defy 4. Where are you based?

    Not sure if that helps.

    Its saying that its either medium or large!

    Any chance you have a mate there that you could try their bike to see what suits you?

    im selling my Lapierre

    this one Here

    its a 55cm frame, not even a year old

    its just a wee bit too small for me, hence why i needed to buy a new bike

    i upgraded the wheels as well, when i say upgraded, not exactly Zipp 404's,

    but fulcrum 7's, alot better than the shimano ones that came with it

    ill post up a picture later on, my missus has my camera, and she wont be back until late

    im in Dublin myself, but am willing to meet half way :D
