Hi folks,
A friend of mine (based in NZ) is about to pull the trigger on a Canyon Strive 7 and he would really appreciate some help on which size to go for. At 169cm in height and with a 79cm inseam it seems either a small or medium would suit.
He is currently on a small YT Capra from about a five years ago that he feels is a little on the small side.
Thanks.

I would go medium, this is what Canyon suggest for those measurements.

Anecdotally I'm on a size medium Spectral which is perfect (173cm / 81cm). Other than wheelsize the bikes are built pretty similar.

I was going to ask a question about Canyon sizing too - anyone got a small Neuron CF? The standover from the geometry chart seems quite high for it but apparently that's measured in the middle of the TT, but they couldn't/wouldn't confirm what it actually measures closer to the saddle. MrsP is thinking of getting one but the sizing is putting her off, so can anyone take a measurement?
