    If you're buying a bike that expensive, get a fit. And make sure you understand how to compare effective top tube lengths with varying seat tube angles.

    I am 5"10' and rise a large but thought you would be medium - but not worth guessing

    I'm 5' 7.5" (every point counts) with an inside leg of 29" and the S is spot on. I find the reach is a bit too much for me so I'm swapping the 100mm stem for an 80. I'd originally bought an M but it just didn't feel right. IMO you'd be best going for the S.

    Do you know what saddle height you want to achieve?

    I am 5'9 and ride a medium with a 110 stem and a 735mm saddle height, my inside leg (cycling) is 840mm. I would guess you may find a better fit on the small with a longer stem as the Wiliers do not handle brilliantly on a short stem, they become very twitchy...

    And if you're like me - 6'3", 925mm inseam requiring a 59.5cm top tube - you are fooked.

    May the road rise up to meet you.
    May the wind always be at your back.

    m8 I am 6' 2" with a 34inch inside leg and use a 580mm Horizontal TT length, with a 120mm stem, so your 1" is in the leg length not body therefore a 580 TT length should be okay for you.

    unless I have missed something :?

    My commute bike has a 600 top tube and 120 stem. It's nigh on a perfect fit for me. Maybe it's the arms - I have arms like a gibbon :lol:
