Looking into buying a canyon nerve 29er just done the measurements on line and comes up with medium I'm 5 ft 10.Just wandering what size canyon bikes people are riding and if the sizes on line are spot on.

Check that you have taken the measurements very carefully, when I had made one slight error in the inside leg measurement it said I should have a medium at 6'2". When I checked the measurement again, realised the error used that and it came up large. I ordered the large and it fits very well.

I'm 5' 11" and ride a Nerve 29er size large. The seat post in the photo is at the correct height for me. If you have short legs the large may not have enough stand-over height.
I would say you are a size medium as long as your not planning to fit a really short stem.

There's a test of the more expensive 9.9 version here

http://www.bikeradar.com/mtb/gear/category/bikes/mountainbikes/full-suspension/product/review-canyon-nerve-al-29-99-13-47268

It has the more expensive Crossmax wheels and a Fox FIT fork rather than FOX Evolution.
I couldn't justify the extra £600 but am happy with the cheaper 7.9 model (£1619 at the time of purchase)
