2) The XL frame matched up to the measurements of the bike I was previously riding
3) The shop only XL in stock and no L's in the foreseeable future

In hindsight, I believe the Large frame would have been the better fit as I had to swap out the stem to an 80mm and changed the cranks to 170mm. Also, the standover height disappeared after I put on the taller tires. I can still stand flat footed over the low part of the top tube, but that's it.You

I was really worried about being too cramped when I bought it.

After six months, I still totally love the bike and recommend it without reservation. It's not a racer, but it's very versatile and very comfortable with its compliant frame and multiple hand positions. If I wanted to put skinnies on it and dropped the bars, I could get pretty aero. But I'm 44yo and just like to ride solo for fitness and recreation.
just got back from the LBS. I saw one of the 2016 Comax versions and was really impressed by it. I'm only 5' 9" but have a 32" inseam. Sounds like they run small.
