I'm contemplating one of these frames but I'm a bit stuck on sizing, the medium has the same effective TT as my 140mm full suss but that's quite an upright hooning about kind of riding position.

The large is obviously a touch longer.

The ST review says the medium is ideal for someone who's 5' 9" and Scottish Phil rides a large (according to his reply on the review) and he's 5' 11", problem is I'm just a smudge under 5' 11".

Kinesis UK recommends the large, but it'd be nice to try one before I buy, does anyone local to either mid-Cheshire or Hampton Court have either a medium or a large I could have a sit on?

I'm 5'10 and have a medium which fits perfectly with a 100mm stem on. Your welcome to try it out, but i'm in Hazel Grove, Stockport. Email in profile.

I'm around 6 foot and ride a large. I'd probably go for a large if I were you, it is a race frame after all and you are meant to feel reasonably stretched out on it, it ain't a 4X bike.
