That's my biggest issue, I'm coming from no bike at the moment. I've done my measurements as best I can.
My last bike was a Boardman Hybrid Pro and I had to get it in Small because the reach on it was insanely long. So now when I look at geometry charts I'm trying to guess based on that.
Problem with that was I had a high saddle and low bars so the long reach on the Medium I was trying to avoid became long reach on the Small due to how big the saddle/bar drop was.
I know I can just order one and try it, but I imagine it's pretty pricey to send a bike back and from what I've read it'll be me paying to send it back if it's the wrong size.
So I am trying to get an idea by comparing with others, I know we all have various body/leg lengths and reaches, but it should give me a good idea on which to go for.
Thanks for the info so far.
