I normally ride a 19.5 (Trek size, if it helps). Will the 20.5 Giant fit me? 5'10, long limbs

I'm 5'11'' with a 34.5" inseam (shorter legs,longer torso) and just bought a Giant NRS 2. I tried a medium (18.5") and bought the large (20.5") and even though the clearance is somewhat on the short side at 3", my reach is just about right on. The stand over height of the bike from the ground to the top tube by the front of the seat is 31.5", top tube lenght is 23" and the stem lenght is 105mm.

Good luck.
6'-2" on a Mediumlkfoster

I'm 6'-2" and ride a 18.5" Medium. Size-wise I fit the frame fine (knee joint in-line w/ pedal axle and handlebar in-line with front axle), though I imagine that climbing might be a bit better with a longer top tube. I've got plenty of stand-over height and it's a pretty tossable size.

The main reason that I got the Medium was that it matched exactly the dimensions of my Large Giant MCM Team hardtail. That, and it was hard to come by Large frames at my old LBS (not too many tall Taiwanese).
