Cannondale - between two sizes?

[Bloodrayne]

Hi all,

Is there a general rule of thumb when it comes to bikes when you're between the two sizes - I can either be at the top of the medium size, or the bottom of the large on the Cannondale that I am looking at.

Obviously, given lockdown I can't go around and try things out - but there's a 2nd hand one available that I could get a hold of now (and after a lack of bikes available during lockdown it's the first I've seen that would do what I need it to) - but I obviously don't want to purchase it if I'll end up either cramped or having to stretch on-to tiptoes to stop myself falling off.

Thanks - that’s really useful to know and makes the decision much easier!

Thanks all - it’s a hybrid quick disc 5 - probably not what I would have chosen if there was a larger amount of stock to pick from, but sounds solid enough for the price.

I’m 5’ 10ish and inside leg is 31” - so on the chart the store offers it’s straddling top of medium, bottom of large.
