I'm looking at one of these - only available in size L

I thought a medium would suit me better for me at 5'10" - any experiences?

(I did live happily with a L Cannondale Jekyll for years, which was similar sizing)

I'm 5'11 and rode a medium, a large would be too big for me, but sizes are a personal thing.

Great bike, a bit of a high BB, but really well made. If you do get one, spend about 2-3 hours covering it all in copter tape - the finish really damages easy - little scratches, scuffs, rub from your shorts - all really makes the finish look poor.

Covered in copter tape, from Biketart... it stays looking awesome ๐Ÿ™‚

I was at a Whyte bikes demo night ride a couple of weeks ago. Demo'd both the 120 and 146. I'm 5ft 11" and the medium frame in both bikes felt best. Like rickon says though, it's a personal thing.

Just to throw a spanner in the mix, I now ride a large Spark. It has a 610mm ETT, the large Whyte has a 611mm ETT. So... I'd probably be fine riding the e120 in a large.

The standover of a large e120 is 31", so if you've got a 32" inside leg, you'd probably have your misters resting on the toptube.
