Another Boardman sizing question - no advice or size charts on their website. I'm 5'8", 65 kgs - thinking of the Pro Carbon in small size - anyone got one? How do they come up, rode a friends old model pro Carbon in small last summer and it felt very right but I think the geometry may have changed considerably on the 2011 models.

    Stupid isn't it?

    I fell foul of the long TT lengths of Boardmans.

    I've just bought the Pro Carbon in Large and I'm a little worried it's too big.
    Although, maybe I am just used to a smaller bike..
    I'm 6 foot tall.

    Does anybody have experience with sizing of the Boardman Pro Carbon?

    Thanks

    I'm 5 11 and have a medium, fits fine.

    But its worth bearing in mind that its not just your height that you need to take into account, you may have out of proportion body parts, by that I mean - you may have longer legs and a shorter torso etc

    I guess the only real way is to get into a store and try them all out.
