Noting quite a few on here seem to have one I'm wondering about how they size up. Sadly its an 8 hour round trip to the showroom so I can't try one out.

I'm 5'11 so between the 54 and the 57, It's intended as a winter road bike for training on farm/country roads with some offroad duty at weekends, any CX racing will be strictly at the 'fun' end of the pack. I did look at the Dirty Disco but I much prefer the look of the XLS.

Geometry suggests its a pretty small 54 - reach and stack measurements for the 57 are closer to my 'comfort' road bike (55 Bianchi via nirone 7) but I'm wondering if I'm missing something.

Any experiences?

I'm 6 feet tall and use mine for road, towpaths and mild dirt tracks and ride a 57cm.

Thanks Craigxxl - that helps, I'm strongly leaning towards the 57

I'm same height as you and when I was thinking about getting one I contacted PX and they recommended a 57.

I am 5 11" and ride a 54cm, at our height we are border line medium or large, I prefer the smaller sizes, cross bike are usually shorter on the top tube than a road bike size for size,I also have a medium London road,pro carbon and rt57,so its a personal choice
