Got a dilemma that I need help with please. I'm in the market for a new trail bike and have narrowed choice to Giant Trance 2 or Specialized Camber Evo. What are your recommendations?
Also, I am 5'11 and 78kg's - recommendations on sizing please? I have been told medium but suspect the top tube length on these bikes may be a tad short so I am tempted with a Large.
Help appreciated all!

Transition Scout in large!
I ride a 2015 Giant Trance
I'm 5'11" and 85kg
Large feels spot on, I'd feel a medium would be too small
The bike points down very well, weight back , point it down and it flys, i think a smaller frame would feel a little more unsettled through the rough, the only benefit I would reckon would be on tight berms and switchbacks, but I've never felt my large being too big
I absolutely love my Trance, seriously good bike for me, climbs surprisingly well, better than I was expecting coming from a hardtail
Edit - just seen you're a tad lighter, the medium might feel easier to chuck around? Can you not demo at a shop?
If you're down South East way you can try mine for size
[b]OP[/b] - Id definitely say a large if its the Camber Evo. I'm 5'10" with a 34" inside leg and it fits a treat.
