Evening, seen a second hand Whyte I like the look of, its a fair distance away though and I'm unsure of the sizings ... The bikes a medium, Whyte lists that a medium will suit 5'6 to 5'10, I'm only 5'5
I have been riding a small Stache but always been in the back of my mind that its abit on the small side, recently rode a medium Specialized Camber and that felt spot on.
On paper the Whyte looks a bit longer than the Spec, maybe too long?
I know everyones different, but are there any short folk riding a T-129? How you find it ?

Cheers

You need to ride the bike before buying it.

I know this, but its not exactly local. I've got a feeling its gonna be on the big side.
If a few folk say they are a similar height and it fits, then it might be worth the trip, if they are saying its to big then I won't bother.

I'm 5'7" and ride a M109 in medium. It's a perfect fit and wouldn't want to be on anything bigger.

Not the exact scenario you're looking for I know but I suspect a medium might be a bit of a stretch for you.
