His bike came with a "L" sticker on the frame. They told him it's just a wrong sticker and they measured the frame and found it OK.

Well here's the official geometry: http://www.giant-bicycles.com/en-in/...0/10735/52969/

If he had the M/L frame, the measurements would be like below, right?



He just measured the head tube and found it 18.5 cm. They clearly gave him the wrong size and now lie to him, am I right? Am I measuring correctly in the pic?

Aside your point, if your friend got the wrong bike, I think your measurement of the top tube length in a compact frame bike by your depiction above is not correct, measurement should go to the red line (extension of the seat tube)
