    Hello,
    Looking at getting a new all round bike. Commuting, bridleway, bivi trips, kids etc.
    Really like the look of the Rove. And it’s a good price.

    Does anyone on here have one, or has swung a leg over one and can tell me about size?

    I would normally be a 56 but they only do a 54 m/l or a 57 L, which is unhelpful.

    The size chart has me ok on both, my current bike falls between them both as well. Which is a m/l giant defy.

    I am 5:11 with a 32inseam

    I am thinking I should size up to a L, bit any insight anyone has would be gratefully received.

    I am miles away from a dealer, other wise I would have gone to have a test ride.

    Cheers

    I have a large .

    Im 6 ft 3 with a 34 inseam

    I would buy the 54 first and try it at your height.

    Its quite a long bike for its height designed around a short stem

    Cool thank you,
    How long is the stem on the large, out of curiosity?

    Thanks for the link to the specs Mrsfry, hadn’t seen those in my search…. 😕

    Unfortunately if your read the specs there is no mention of the stem length, so was asking TR as he actually has one.

    Cheers for your input

    75 or 80 mm – all my other drop bar bikes came with 100-130 mm stems
