Looking for a little guidance on what size Giant XTC you are currently piloting. My experience is that Giant frames run a little small.

Me = 5'10.5" w/ a 33" inseam ---- I kinda feel that this puts me in betrween a M or a LG.

Im 6-0 and ride a Large. It feels absolutely perfect for me. I would say its feels closer to being small than it does too big with 110 mm stem and zero offset seatpost. My buddy is 6-2 and thinks its way to small for him. I think you are definitey on the borderline, just compare the TT to your current bike. 24.2 on the large isnt all that long, my new bikes will be 24.6.

Thanks - what's your saddle height and do you happen to know the center to center measurement on LG frameset?

30" from center of bb to top of saddle. XTC Advanced SL with easton SL riser bars and 110mm 6deg stem. I believe Adam Craig rides a Large with a much longer stem than me and is under 6-0. PM me if your interested in frameset.
