Hi I'm looking to buy a wilier gtr ultegra and at 5"11 I think I'm in between a large and xl
I could do to sit on one really but none in stock near me. Any advice ?
Thanks

    It's going to be personal choice, but I'd sooner go for the smaller frame and adjust it to fit than have a larger frame that needed to be adjusted down. Check the crank set to see if it is an FSA Gossamer one. I know of two bikes now where the left hand crank arm has come loose during a ride and fallen off. Problem is made worse by the fact the wavy washer invariably gets lost in the process meaning you have to mess about getting a replacement. Thankfully I ditched all the group set with mine and put something else on.
    I ride a bike. Doesn't make me green or a tree hugger. I drive a car too.

    Where are you?

    I'd be going Medium or Large. Deffo not XL unless you're an odd 5 11
    Condor Super Acciaio, Record, Deda, Pacentis.
    Curtis 853 Handbuilt MTB, XTR, DT Swiss and lots of Hope.
    Genesis Datum Gravel Bike, Pacentis (again).
    Genesis Equilibrium Disc, 105 & H-Plus-Son.

    Mostly Steel.

    I'm 5ft 10 and it was between a medium and large for me. Both were fine but I went for the large with a shorter stem as it was slighly more comfortable for my shape.

    Not the same bike exactly but for info... I have a 2012 Wilier Gran Turismo am 6ft exactly, and ride a large.

    It's been an awesome bike to own btw.

    Definately not a XL, just bought the GTR Centaur in L and just shy of 6", comes with a long stem anyway with thin handlebars, wouldn't want to be stretching any further

    I'm just over 6'1" and I have an XL wilier La Triestina.
    My friend is 5'10" and rides a med Wilier Gran Turismo, so perhaps the large might be a better fit?
