Giant TCR Advanced sizing for 6ft 1 - 186cm advice
Hi,
Im trying to find the right size frame and a TCR.
What size frame do you use?
M/L medium large seemed a little short as I maxed out the seatpost to get the right knee bend. Lots of bend in my elbows.
L Large seems a little stretched out with my arms.
Maybe I need a shorter stem 10-15 degree stem.
Cheers.
FnC.

Picked up today. Large.
Haven’t changed the stem yet but waiting to see how it goes over a month of stretching and dieting!
When I was on the M/L, I found I maxed out the seat post min level.
Looking back, the bike looked funny with a huge gap between saddle and bar height.
I guess with the large, the head tube is taller by 20mm ish.
How much seatpost are you using?
6' here, or 184cm, and I'm riding an M/L too.
I was offered both that size and the Large but felt happier on the smaller frame with a 120mm stem.

Thanks SG
I'm just about 5' 11" and ride an M/L which is just about spot on so I'd venture an L with maybe a 10 mm shorter stem would be good.
