If your testing a Defy I'd go M/L as the TT is shorter and the HT is longer (less reach than the TCR). TCR wise I'd go for a Medium, but if you have a long torso perhaps a M/L. What brand is your current bike?

I don't think so - 56cm with a 100mm stem is spot on for me at 182cm.rkelsen wrote:56cm seems small for someone 180cm tall. Do you have short legs?

Doesn't show it you're right I was wrong:) Does show most frame geometries though, reach top tube plus stem but doesn't take into account set back so its meaningless, gives head tube height so you can very an ideas of stack height or the height of the front end.__PG__ wrote:Where?
