This question gets asked a lot about this frame and pretty much every one says this frame runs on the smaller side. Well... I seem to be the exception. I'm 5'11" and went with the M frame. I find it fits me perfectly. I've never felt "cramped" when in the saddle for long climbs. This is with a 40mm stem, 35mm rise bars. At 5'9" I would say you are a medium. Others will probably tell you to get a large. Again, for me I would buy the FM1001/FM1002/FM1003 in a medium
Thanks a lot! That's very helpful.

Hello all, I'm very interested in this frame, but not sure what size would fit(M or L). I'm 175cm(5'9'') and have 82cm inseam. I find the STA of this frame is quite steep. That causes a relatively short top tube. I wonder if a medium will feel cramped or uncomfortable during some long and flat pedalling. But a large seems to be very long (it has 472mm reach and a 440mm seat tube length). My Current bike is a Giant Trance 2017 size M which has a 435mm reach, 73.5 degree of STA and 610mm top tube length. Should I go for a large? Or a medium of FM1002?
