2019 Masi giramondo 650b sizing?
looking at a Masi Giramondo. Sizing seems weird. Does anyone own a 2019 Giramondo 650b? I am 5'10" with a 30" inseam. Masi's size chart puts me at the upper end of a Medium Lower end of a large?
I had the same issue with a Breezer radar that turned out to be to big
Purchasing online, so unable to test fit in person.
Any feedback would be helpful.

The size recommendations do look a little funny compared to the geometry chart, but it looks like these bikes are designed for a more upright riding position. It also looks like they also designed the bikes with long top tubes to be paired with shorter stems. If you have a bike that fits well, you could try to compare your bike's reach plus the stem length, and compare that to the Medium and Large reach and stem numbers. FWIW, I have similar proportions as you, and I would most likely go with the Medium over the Large.

Reviving this thread as I just impulsively bought a 2019 Masi Giramondo 27.5 sight unseen after searching for a gravel/adventure bike for MONTHS and never finding anything I want in my size. Covid shortage is real.
I've had my eye on this bike because it looks great and checks a lot of boxes based off what I've read so when I saw a shop in Texas had an XS stocked I decided to jump on it.
My question is, I am 5'1" and am a little paranoid that even the XS might be a little tall despite the shop owner confirming that my height was in the range specified for that frame size. I don't have my inseam handy but I am pretty proportionate shorty. Bike ships next wednesday. Do yall think I'm gonna be disappointed? And what can I do if the standover height is a little too spicy for me? Smaller wheels? Orthopedics?

Nobody here knows if you will fit it or be disappointed. The standover is shown above- if that doesn't work for you then perhaps it isnt the right bike.
The XS certainly has a tall stack and long reach for what I would call an XS bike, but I ride the opposite end of the spectrum so what do I know. Just compare your current bike(s) stack and reach to see if it is close enough.

^^^ Yep, that's all you need to determine if stand over will work for you. Time for the tape measure.
