So i test rode a rail 5 in large today and had a absolute blast. It was mainly CX about 36 miles with some fun descents thrown in. As a result i ordered a 9.8 in large ( i felt a bit sick saying yes!!). On reflection and looking at the sizing info on the Trek site i fall in the medium frame size category range rather than the large, i am 171.5cm and have a 31" inside leg.
I am now panicking that i should have brought a medium, the shop that i demoed it from did not have a medium for me to try so i have little comparison. Having said that the bike felt super stable, fast and playful and capable of a lot more i could throw at it at the moment.
After demoing a Levo medium last weekend and doing 46+ miles over to rides on it, it felt a touch to compact reach wise.
What frame sizes are people riding and what height are you? I have found a medium i could road demo that is a good 2hrs drive away which when typing this now sounds like a good thing to do.
What are other rail owners thoughts?
