Just about to press buy on an ISP Giant roadbike and wondering if anyone has one... what size you've got, how tall are you and what's your inside leg...

Cheers.

I've just bought a medium TCR 0, don't know if that's ISP or not (think it is).
height about 178cm, inside leg 78/79 cm (in clothes) bike looks small but fit is just about perfect when riding.....

I'm 5'8" no idea on inside leg but had a TCR Alliance 0 in medium but swapped to TCR Advanced in small. The small feels a lot better to ride as the control / powers a lot more direct. I always felt the medium was a little too stretched out...

I'm 5'10" and ride a medium TCR Advanced and a medium Defy - both compact framesets, inside leg 30". I'm probably borederline between a (Medium)M and a (MediumLarge) ML but am happy with the M.

Which one you getting Yeti? Must be posh if it's an ISP :-).

I've got a Trinity (ISP) in medium, would only go as low as a M/L for a road bike, but they come with loads of post so that's not a problem.

(6ft2". 35"(and a bit) inside leg)

Currently selling a Giant TCR C1 frame size is M/L and I'm 5'11 if that helps.

I'm with you on that - M slightly too small for me, L slightly too large.

Anyway, I've straddled Giant road bikes and hover between a M and M/L in them - 5ft 11" & 34" leg. Short upper body, long arms.

There's a useful 'size me' link down at the bottom of this page:-

An Advanced TCR SL most proabably a 2 but maybe a 1.

That size guide is really useful, puts me pretty definitely on a M.

Cheers guys. If anyone has an opinion of whether the 2011 "1" is worth about a grand more than the "2", I'd love to hear it...
