Hi all,

I'm just about to order the Stealth (now R872) and according to Ribble's sizing I'm a size Large, which is the 52.5.

I'm 5"11, I don't want to be too stretched out but still want a sporty (but comfortable) ride.

Can any other owners let me know what size they went for and how it feels? I'm a little afraid of ordering without another opinion! Ribble doesn't know what customer service means either :roll:

Cheers all

    5'9 and I have a 50cm.

    the sloped top tube is quite long and is more important and the C-T length as this is quite short of course it does depend on you inside seam length.

    personally if I was a little taller I'd still get the 50cm. I started with a 11cm stem but dropped to a 10cm and still find its abit more of a stretch than what I'm used to

    Fits really nicely and I dont feel too stretched out on it, but I did have a gran fondo beforehand that I'm pretty certain was a touch too big for me.

    Beautiful bike. You won't regret it

    I have that size and I'm 6ft but with the inside leg of someone your size so I would be pretty sure that would fit you ok. Use the calculation on the stealth page as it works

    ^^^^THIS. I'm 6ft and I bought the large. It's perfect. You won't regret buying it, it's a great ride and looks stunning in the flesh IMO :D
