Yeah, I know this sounds like a scratched record but I'm very interested in geting one and I'd prefer the correct size.

I'm about 6' 1", long legs and short(ish) torso. Prefer a short stem 60mm ish).

I recon the 18" frame is the one for me as everyone says they're really long but the geometry stated on the on one website would suggest a 20" for my inside leg and the reach stated is quite short.

My medium (18") Giant Reign (2005) is way too small for me and so is my medium Maxlight (18").

Any advise?

No idea if it will help much but I ride a 16" C456 and can easily fit on an 18" Giant Anthem X.

I'd suggest trying one tbh. If you wer 6ft I would definitely say 18" and tbh I would probably say still go with 18" and a long seat post.

Trying one is difficult as I live in Spain - not fussed about a long seatpost - it's the reach that worries me. Don't want a tank though!
