Hi,
I'm considering buying a Focus Variado 2008 from wiggle as it's on sale.
Only problem is that they only have M (54) size left. According to their size charts thats good for people up to 5ft9 with 30in inside leg. However I'm a bog standard 5ft10 with 32inch inside leg.

I've squizzed the net and found other posts by people saying that maybe the charts on wiggle are a bit off. Does anyone have any experience with M or L size frames for this model?

Help much appreciated!
Nick

    I ride a Focus Cross on a 56 frame and am 5ft 10. I would suggest that you shouldn't go for a 54 frame as you would find it too small.

    IMHO

    I have 54cm variado and I am 5'8". My friend is 5'10" and said that it would be too small for him so I would agree with ShaunL
