    im 6ft 4inches nearly and after using there body geometry chart they recommend me this in XL. i like it.

    Torso 71-72cm

    arm lenght 60cm

    just dont like the fact that you cant test them first before ordering.

    bummer you cant try it.
    looks bloody good though, and good value too.

    I’d go and try Planet X carbon at that price.
    Lute gar kit and decent wheels.

    The planet X is a nice bike for the price but if you are anything other than a beanpoll at 6.4 it’ll be flexy as hell.

    I’m 12 stone and I found mine was, my brother who is slightly lighter seems not to notice it however. I now have a Canyon (the carbon version so not the same I realise) and its much stiffer all round.

    As for sizing, don’t use their charts. Sit on a few road bikes, find one that fits, then get one with as similar dimensions as possible from Canyon. I chose the size closest to my old bike and it fits great.

    Canyon every time. You wont regret it Jacob, the planet x is good value but I’d be suprised if it rode any better.
    Seem to remember Philippe Gilbert rode more or less that frame from time to time.
