I'm looking at one of these as I like Giant bikes. My current Defy is a size small and could probs do with having a touch longer stem (I'm probs bang in the middle of s and m). How do the TCXs size up in comparison??
I bought a TCX in Feb and went for a Small. I had a Medium TCR last year.
My LBS advised to go down a frame size. I would say try finding a dealer with one in stock. I purchased my TCX from Alf Jones at Wrexham, went in last week and they hve another small in stock.
I'm 5.10" and went for a med/large. Bit weird sizing calling something med/large but that's what they do. I think I'm fairly normal in sizing, you could say pretty standard body and with that in mind the bike fits me perfectly.
I did spend 2 hours in the Giant store in St Paul's, London, then another hour sitting on it, but really I knew from the first 15mins that I'd chosen the right size.
Can you not pop into a shop and sit on one?
Where's Jamie he's around my height.
I ride a small, but a 54 road frame, taking standover height into account I would size down.
Shameless plug, but I have my spare size small frame for sale here: http://singletrackmag.com/forum/topic/giant-tcx-framset-small?replies=2#post-5893045
