I'm about 6'2" and went for a large, even though on the sizing I'm probably an Xl, I'm glad I went with the smaller size, it let's me get a lower position at the front so it feels more like my road bike, yet I can still get upright enough when off the tarmac.
The finishing quality is very high, the welds are really neat and all of the kit feels quality, in particular the handlebar, which has an aero shaped top that I wasn't expecting but provides a great place to grip when climbing.
I considered quite a few bikes when purchasing and I'm really glad I chose the CGR
The bike took 5 weeks to arrive from the day I ordered, not bad considering. The only thing I'd recommend differently is to skip ordering the fenders if you're having the bike shipped any great distance. They're a little more plastic-y than I pictured and got bent up and twisted a bit in transit. I was able to straighten them out for the most part and they function fine, and of course have no affect on the performance of the bike. I'll probably look to upgrade to aluminum fenders at some point in the near future.
Overall I'm extremely happy with the bike and with Ribble, and strongly recommend looking into them for your next bike purchase!
