As it says, really. I'm going to get demo's (these bikes are a lot of money), but I'm interested to hear what people went for. They seem to be pretty long in the top tube for any given size.

I'm 5' 9" and normally fit a Medium spot-on, but with this frame I'm wondering if a Small might not be better.

I've had a go on a demo one that was a medium (I'm 6ft) and it was spot on. Mate has a medium 575 - he's 5' 8" and reckons he should have got the small.

5'3 and ride an XS here. Sizing is slightly different between the alloy and the carbon versions.

Cheers folks. Looks like a medium is going to be the best bet after all. Now, off to book a demo... 🙂

6 foot on large with 70mm stem. Demo'd medium with 90mm stem. Bromley Bike wouldn't let me go with medium tho' - their experience was that I should definitely go with large. Feels spot on

I've got a medium ASR-7 and I'm 6ft 2 and I'd say its perfect.

I am 5'8" and own a 09 ASR Alloy. Been racing it for a year and a half. Fits perfectly and if anything, is a little short, but that makes it a bit quicker in the corners.

I'm wondering the same thing.

I had a test ride on the medium carbon felt great; they didn’t have a carbon small so I sat on the small alloy in the car park but it perhaps felt a little cramped. I’m 5’7.5 (that .5 is very important), 148lbs (67kg) and have a 29.5” leg in jeans.

Is there any of a posting a photo to see how much seat post you have showing?

Thanks,
D.
