Afternoon all and just a quick query if i may in the hope that someone out there is 5' 9" with a 29" inside leg!?
After a long wait my new Boardman ADV 8.9 2021 arrived last week but, in short, its too big! Having considered sizing charts and recommendations I ordered the medium but no real room to stand over the top tube and seat only just level with the bars. Although i could have got on with it, I decided it should go back as, if spending £1000 on a bike, it needs to be right!

So, given that the Small is not available as is i am back to the drawing board in picking a suitable Gravel/Adventure bike for £1000 (buying under Cycle2Work)
Any advice would be appreciated as new to drop bar bikes and feel like my dimensions are a challenge to the sizing charts.
Thanks
