that will be fine, the l/xl is good for those 5'11" and over

If you are in between frame sizes, and you are going to race the bike, go with the smaller of the two.

Not always the best advice. Just look at Sam Hill. His bikes are custom, cause they are mostly a medium, but the measurements make it out to be a large. And he's not a big guy.

Sam Hill is a bad example.....he is a 1 in a million type of rider. Look what pro racers ride on average. Also, you must take into account both the type of riding and the terrain that you will be riding. If you like to huck your bike around in steep rock gardens and drops, you will wish for a smaller bike.

Glasgow Cycles (Craig McMartains) in Pollockshaws just along from crossmyloof station, http://www.glasgowcycles.co.uk/Forum/index.php?www post there asking for a demo and im sure they will sort you out on one soon Big Grin

As for the size im around 5'8 and ive got the small/med i know loads of taller people who ride the same size, ive found its alot to do with how you set the bike up aswell but post there and theyll sort you out.

the small is quite small and the large is more normal i.e normal large but a small small if you get me??

i have sat on both and i went for the small because i like small bikes, although the large would probably fit better...
