Hi,
In brief considering getting rid of my 46 and upgrading to a e120 xt (advertised on the forum).Size is the issue(no jokes please).Whytes usually come up big but not sure with the e120?I' m currently on a Medium 46 and the e120 advertised is also a M, have compared the geometry and not to sure.I'm usually a L in spesh,dale etc and ride a 56 cm road bike(5' 11" with a 32" inside leg) Cant buy before I try because of distance. Advice please.

Where are you based as I am near Skipton and you would be welcome to try mine to see if the sizing is OK.

I'm 5'8" and have a MED ( frame i'd like to sell ) and would say you'd need a LRG for sure

I'm the same height and leg as you, ride a 56cm road bike. I road a medium E120 and was spot on, large would feel like a boat.

I rode with a 90mm stem and an inline post.

The ETT for a medium is 597mm, which is pretty long for a medium - an Anthem is about 585, a spark is a little shorter I believe.

Definitely need a medium. Large will be massive. I ride large in Anthem, Spark, Trek, but in the E120 was a medium ๐Ÿ™‚

I'm usually between sizes on bikes, and tend to go up a size as I don't like feeling cramped, the Whyte kind of fits between large and medium.
