Hi, thanks for all your posts. To sum up your advice, I need to be certain to get the right frame size. I might be a L frame fitted small, or a M frame fitted big, or maybe I could be borderline and possibly use either? I think I might be within this borderline range, because one bike shop told me I could only use a large, and the other bike shop told me I was probably a large or M depending on the frame. To be fair to the bike shop owners, the one who said I could be both had many different types of bikes in his shop, while the one who said I was certainly a large was only selling Merida bikes, so he probably knows his stock better, and there would be more consistency of the bike sizes.

Here are the details for my situation if anyone can comment that would be greatly appreciated. Take into consideration I would be trying to fit aerotards to my bike and using it a few times a week for a 30-40km commute, and also on weekends for long highway rides, as well as triathlon competitions.

Any help is appreciated.





I am considering the M frame from the 2010 Kuota Kharma
