Giant defy advanced sizing

[oliver3129]

Just thinking of buying my first road bike for 25 years , fancy the defy advanced range of bikes , every shop I go in I try the bikes out and half say I'm a large size and the others recommend a m/l I'm 5,11 and 32 inside leg having not cycles for 25 years don't really know what to look for. Any advice would be good

I've just bought a defy 3 in medium I'm 5.8 with a 30 inside leg and the medium is bang on for me...I'd say large too...the only way to know is to try though

Hmm, at 5'11" I'd think you'd be Medium or M/L TBH. I'm 5'10" and ride Medium.

I stand corrected Mike is right M/L

Most people can happily fit two sizes. It's all down to your preferred riding position (upright or low), leg, torso, arm ratio etc.
Stem length/height/angle are easily changeable as is saddle height/position.
Go with the one you feel most comfortable on, and don't worry what the size sticker says.
