Size wise, I got the large-I am 6ft and weigh 13 stone, it is what I would call a 'comfort fit'-not a 'race fit', so it is certainly not figure hugging. It does seem a little short at the front when standing up but otherwise fits well. Pockets are all easy to get into-5 in total! with 2 zipped-the larger zipped pocket can hold a large mobile phone.

I purchased the medium frame and I am 5'9, so bang in on the size for me, I would say anyone at this height who wants more comfortable geometry should go up a frame as my seat is now a good few inches over the top of my handle bars. All in all the bike is solid, flys around with no issues and nobody moaned with the free try outs at my bike club. What went down very well there was the paintjob and the fact it looks different in light and darker conditions. The only niggle is the positioning of the rear gear cable, it seems to pop up from under the frame a bit early and if my right foot is out of position my heel can catch, this is not a problem when I have my cleats (Shimano A530s) on but is a problem for stop and start riding
