    I am 6",
    Got the Boardman Team, size large,
    Can only advise you to sit on both sizes and feel which one feels more comfortable for you.......

    Thanks for the info. How is the large size. Is it comfortable and did you have to make any adjustments to the stem/saddle etc. Anyone else have a large sized one and if so what height are you and is the large the proper sized bike for this height?

    Unfortunately Halfords do not have an X large in stock so I can't try it out for sizing

    Mines a L and I'm 6'1 and its plenty big enough. I put a shorter stem on as it was a bit uncomfortable - went from 110 to 100. I wouldn't look for an XL as L will be enough for you

    I am 6'4" and I purchased the XL last summer in Galway (Note the XL is a special order and it could take several weeks for them to get it in). My reach is a couple of inches longer than my height and I find it just about comfortable. I'd say that size L would be the correct size for you. However, as already said earlier, you will only know for certain after sitting on both.
