Looking for a sub-£1k alu disc road bike that can take a wide-ish tyre with at least Tiagra level componentry.

The Sonder Colibri appears to for the bill - https://alpkit.com/products/sonder-colibri-al-tiagra

According to the size chart I'll need a Large at 5'11", but it'd be good to know if the sizing on the website is accurate.

Anyone got any real world experience?

At 5'10 I have a medium which fits nicely. Think will depend on the arm vs everything else ratio though.
It puzzles me that the average height for men 5'10->5'11 always sits on the cross over point for bike frames.

I guess you could see it as a choice (slightly longer/slightly shorter options available) that other people don't get?

Average height for a man in the UK is 5'9 though. So presumably a medium is bang-on?
