However, combine that into a Giant's XL frame which is actually 23" (more than most frames are at XL size) and then the Giant's longer top tube, shorter top tube, neck and lower stem rise and the bike feels 2 sizes too big. (at least to someone like me).

When you ride any other brands, make sure you keep those considerations in mind because all those variables I mentioned above can make a difference, 21" for 21", 19" for 19", etc. etc.

Then again, with enough work, you might.......in fact I'll even say, inspired by the Peter White article even.......that you could PROBABLY get your DS to fit you with a few changes in neck, stem, rise and saddle. But another bike is always an option too.
