    I'd imagine you'd be a medium. I'm 6ft and have a size large

    6ft 1 here on a large. Murf85 has a small, not sure what height he is.

    I have a medium @ 5' 10. Bike fittings indicate that I should use a 55 cm top tube, the medium has an effective tt of 54.7cm so it works for me. The very compact geometry means that I am showing a lot of seatpost,

    That's a sensitive issue..


    iv got a small frame, it does the job as a winter bike but at 5ft 7, I reckon I would be much more comfortable on a medium..

    I've a medium @5' 11 and also have loads of seatpost showing with a 130mm stem - probably should have gone for a large but I don't think its been too much of a hindrance in the past 2 years I've had it, tho it dose look tiny compared to my medium large Giant Defy 4.

    Seen this on their site:

    Sizing Guide
    Rider Height Suggested Frame Size
    5′3″ to 5′7″ (160cm-170cm) Small
    5′8″ to 5′11″ (173cm-180cm) Medium
    5′10″ to 6′2″ (178cm- 188cm) Large
    6′1″ to 6′6″ (185cm- 198cm) X-Large

    This is how much seatpost I'm showing on mine. Going by the Planet X sizing I'm boarderline between L and XL. I changed down to L from an XL Specialized though and find the Planet X a more comfortable fit overall. I always felt a little stretched on the Spesh.

    I'm 5' 7 and have the small. After some messing about with the stem and saddle position it's now very comfy.

    OP - where are you based? If you are in Dublin I'm happy to let you try it out for size.
