I'm 5,9 and ride a Medium Glory! According to there size chart I am on the tail end of the Medium and the start of there Large. So if it were Glory, id say a small wouldn't work!

Id say keep looking!

Wrong. Your actually on the smaller side of It, if you were much smaller you would be suited to a small. It's funny how even you don't know the facts to your own bike. The medium fits
people up to 6ft2 although that's not going to happen, but at 5ft9 you are a perfect fit. You are no where near their large.

As for this sizing different bikes fit differently so don't compare your incorrect sizing to anyone else's anyway.

As for the sizing a small would work but would be cramped and you would be faster on a medium. Best option is to go and sit on it and see what it feels like, maybe ride it around the car park

Wrong? Who the f*ck are you? It funny that I don't even know my own bike? Just joined this site and am realizing its full of a bunch of immature little f*cks who think they know everything and are rude as f*ck to people they don't even know.

180CM=5'9

Let me break down GIANTS SIZE CHART
SMALL 157-172CM
MEDIUM 172-180CM
LARGE 180-190CM

Literally just googled it. 5ft9 is 175cm? And 180cm is 5ft 10.866, So nearly 5ft11?

I honestly can't see where I have gone wrong? So where have you got that number from. And saying 5ft9 is what started it, because 5ft9 on the giant glory sizing chart is bang on medium.

Now onto something else
I haven't been rude. I pointed out how you were wrong in my opinion. I was a little blunt because I saw you were being rude to people in the other thread. You have a maddd attitude problem and all I see is you calling other people rude. Except you are the one running your mouth. I don't know everything but I have sizing sorted out for the most part. It's not rocket science but I feel you are not accurate.

The irony in calling other people rude

Just had a look and into feet not feet and inches you are 5ft9 sure. But even then, medium in the middle is 1.8 metres, fitting up to 1.88metres although it overlaps a large at 1.83 or so. So it still says you perfectly fit medium ?

Google can not translate cm into feet correctly because it works in units of 1 not .12 so it displays 5.9feet no 5'9 Facepalm someone should really fix that.

180cm is 5'10.8ish

Also bike size is preference, arguing over it is nonsensical.
