I am a little worried about the crank size. I have ridden this bike in a large already, but not the 175mm crank. Not too sure the length of the one I rode, stock, whatever that is. Hopefully its not too big of a difference. Hopefully Derk can offer some advice.


172.5mm is the "standard" crank. Not a huge difference, but to some it's uncomfortable. I think it's appropriate for a large frame. FWIW, I'm 5'11" with a 32" inseam and I ride the Giant Medium frame. I have a tall seatpost and 110mm (IIRC) stem. My guess is that you'd fit better on a medium frame from Giant, but you could still fit on a Large frame w/ a shorter stem (90-100mm). Do you know the size of the frame?

Sad news, I think someone was trying to school me. This doesn't seem like a legit deal anymore after doing some research.


Dang... I just saw this after writing that last part.
