    Quick question...I have a size Medium defy 1 now, which fits fine. I can upgrade to a better bike, but the only thing is, its a M/L. I'm 5 10...would it be too big for me or would it be ok?

    Were you measured for your current bike..? If so stick with M, If not get sized....... 5'10 would lead me closer to the M/L though..

    No I was never measured. Just got it and cycled away the odd weekend.

    I'm 5'11" and my M/L TCR fits me perfectly. My guess is that it would be fine for you too!

    I'm 5'10 and ride m/l.

    I'm 183cm (6'0" in old money) and I ride a Giant L. I tried an M/L and it felt a bit small - most noticeable in arm reach.

    I reckon at the OP's height that an M/L will be fine.

    Take it for a spin if you can and see how it feels.

    btw I'm 5 10 and ride a m/l defy - fit is great

    Am 5'10, have a M/L propel, suits me fine, only thing I had to change was the stem from 120mm to 100mm.

    I am 6' 1/2" and ride M/L Defy. Find it very comfortable.
