    As mentioned on the other identical thread you have posted- probably yes.

    Without being rude- have you quite got the hang of forum etiquette?

    Posting multiple threads on the same subject will p i s s the mods ( and everyone else ) off.

    why not just skate along to the nearest halfords and try one for size :?

    Would stop the endless conjecture

    I think he was probably correcting his original post.

    Is XL the model or size? 57.5cm sounds more medium/large to me than xl. I'm 6'4" and just bought a 61cm Bianchi.
    XC: Giant Anthem X
    Fun: Yeti SB66
    Road: Litespeed C1, Cannondale Supersix Evo, Cervelo R5
    Trainer: Bianchi via Nirone
    Hack: GT hardtail with Schwalbe City Jets

    Bianchi's are sized differently, a 61cm Bianchi is around a 58cm on other frames

    (at least from what I can gather, I am currently looking to replace my Allez with an Infinito)

    I wouldn't - my dimensions are similar and I ride a 58cm (albeit a Scott). I would say it is likely to be the correct size but get along and try one for size to make sure (it doesn't have to be exactly the same model, any Boardman should do the job).

    i have tryed a fue but local bike shops arnt all that useful when your 17 going to look at £1000+ bikes think your just having a giggle.

    yes it is the frame size thats what i thought aswell its a bit strange compared to that off other models and makes

    its a fair distance to a halfords from me and the one that is close has a very limited stock so they rarely have a boardman in the correct size just the display model to order sorry for the inconvinence.

    plus sorry about the endless threads i had to get a quick response from someone who actually knows a bit about road bikes. so many where pasted due to someone selling a new in the box boardman team for a very nice price :D new bike for me when i go pick it up at weekend :D

    im 6 feet am have a large tc. they are pretty long and low, i have long legs and plenty of seatpost but the reach to the bars is pleanty long enough. you should be ok on a xl, depending on how long your arms are ypou may want a slightly shorter stem
