Hello,
I found a sh Specialized Stumpjumper Comp Carbon 29 2013, size XL.
I found the geometry page on their site, but i don't know if it fits me.
The seller is too far away for me to go and test it, so maybe i can get some help from here.
I am 1.90m, 88kg, inseam aprox.88cm, torso 69cm, shoulder 43cm, arm 64cm (it's the data i ran with canyon.com site and it recommends a L frame of their bikes).
Is the XL a good fit for me? The price of the bike is really good and i think i'm going for it, i'm just unsure about the size.

I personally would say the XL would be one size too large, some 29ers run high bottom brackets, so to get a good standover height you won't that kind of size. You might also need a very short stem to correct the reach.
Geometry is often very personal, but as a rule of thumb, at 6ft3, if I was selling you a bike in a shop I'd size you up on an XL bike first before seeing if anything else fitted.
I know these are different frames, but as a comparison i ride a Trek 4300 2009 model, XL size and it's ok, size wise. Except my position on the bike is very straight, which i dislike, but it was the first bike 🙂
