I am in the middle of medium and large based in size. Any experience/ idea on where the 2020/ 21 sit size wise? Thanks

Worth talking to Stif they’ve advised me well in the past. I’m 178cm as well and they recommended a large Nomad V4 and have had a large 5010 in the past which have both felt great. For me it’s a bit marginal as I also quite like riding my wife’s medium 5010 V1 (a really great bike) which doesn’t feel too small at all.

Sadly no direct experience with the Highball, but I'm 178cm too and have a large chameleon and a large 5010.

I'm 183 and have a XL Highball and have always sized up on SC. In your shoes I'd go L.

I’m 182 and ride a L highball. Depends how you like your bikes but I’d say you would probably be fine on the M unless you are an ape with long arms 😂

Thanks - I am not long limbed and think that maybe better control can be obtained when on margin of sizes with smaller option, so I think I’ll go for a medium

I’m 175cm and would buy a large. Unless you want to run an 80+mm stem, I’d expect you to be a better fit on a large.

Sizing chart also puts you on a large.

I'm 178 and ride a large Chameleon. It feels spot on, in fact I wouldn't want to go any smaller.
