Specialized Camber 29er sizing

stayhigh65

Morning all

How do people find the sizing on these; I'm 5'11 which sits at the end of medium and the start of large and wondering which would be best?

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Go to a good bike shop and try one. It depends on your preference and relative body sizing. I have a relatively longer body so fit on smaller bike sizes than my height from some manufacturers.

+1 and I have the same issue as Kajal, longer body (than 'normal for height') means shorter arms and legs, shorter reach means I need a smaller frame. (5'9" with 30" inside leg, was riding a 16", now on a 17").

Getting to lbs not an option right now.

I'm 5'11 32" inside leg.

I'm interested in knowing what size/height other owners are using

I'm 5'10" with a 29" inside leg. I ride a Medium frame 2014 Camber Comp Carbon with the supplied seatpost at the height where the number '3' is showing!

You can't size a bike based on other people's opinions on the Internet. As well as body shape differences there's also riding style and personal preferences. For example i like bikes a bit on the big side because i find the extra length makes it easier to ride hard, others like a bike which is a bit small because they find that easier to ride harder.
Unless you know what geometry works for you then you really need to get to a shop or risk an expensive mistake.

Everything Rockmonkey says is correct, but if you really can't get to a shop and you buy online, at least the distance selling regs mean you can return or exchange the bike "un-used". I speak from experience having owned a Canyon Nerve for 3 days last year...
