Zesty's are quite long TT so a large maybe good for you, XL maybe a bit gate like. how do they compare to your current bike.

I ride a giant anthem x2 in a large,the dimensions say that theres only 10mm differance in the tho tubes from l to xl,my top tube is bout the same as a l but my stem is alot longer.But the front keeps coming up when goin up hill,is this because its a bit to long?

Go and sit on them, easiest way to see what feels right. Short top tube together with a short stem tends to lift the front more on steep climbs
