Question for owners of Canyon Nerves, mainly interested in Nerve AM riders.
Lots o’stats below, including inside leg measurements, O'yeah.

How tall are you? What size Nerve do you ride?

I'm inbetween sizes, i think.

The Canyon site recommends a Small and comparing the stats between current bike and Nerve AM small that would make sense.
But then, I’ve also seen a review of a Nerve AM with a 5ft 10” rider that ‘felt a touch cramped’. Which would make me think a Medium is most suitable.
I’m 5ft 9” (31”/800mm inner leg).

Stats:

Current bike (18” Kona)
Standover: 780
Top Tube Length: 589
Stem: 50
TOTAL, TTL + Stem: 639 Reach

Nerve AM (small 16.5”)
Standover: 802
Top Tube length: 570
Stem: 70
TOTAL, TTL + Stem: 640 Reach

Nerve AM (medium 18.5”)
Standover: 814
Top Tube length: 600
Stem: 70
TOTAL, TTL + Stem: 670 Reach

Anybody got a small or medium Nerve AM I can sit on in Berkshire area?

Thankyou for reading this boring & uninteresting question.

    There's loads of threads about Canyon sizing but if it's any help I'm exactly the same height and inside leg as you and went for the medium - feels great to me. If you're anywhere near Chessington in Surrey you're welcome to try mine for size

    Cheers
