Hi.
I'm thinking of buying a road bike.
I'm 5ft 10.5 / 11
31 inside leg in trews.
On a mtn bike I'm mostly a L or a M (On-One / Planet X) but appreciate road bikes are a little more specific.
Any thoughs on he likely size I should be looking at?
Thanks

You might look at 54cm seat tube and about 55cm top tube for starters. Final decision must depend on a road test.0

pretty much identical height and inside leg as me. I ride a 54cm but more important is effective top tube length as this varies depending on geometry - meaning your ideal frame size will vary between different bikes. Consider 54-56cm as your starting point and find somewhere that knows lots about bike fit to help get it right0
