Legless is tall PL, he will need a large sloping frame...
Harry, go for it, for £100 you cannot go much wrong there, even if it lasts you only a year! By which time you will have wanted to upgrade it anyway

the Giant geometry is somewhat different, I have a TCR compact road... I have 34ins leglength and am 5'10'' and ride a medium one, with the saddle way up, had to get used to it initially, thinking the bike was too small...

I know, had mine for a couple of years now... I initially thought the guy in the shop tried to sell me a bike that was too small, until it was explained to me. I like the ride... quite agressive and not that easy to handle... but I like it

I am 6,2" with 34" inside leg and monkey arms, so I need something that gives me both the height and the reach

I was on the edge of medium and large, so Leggy is definitely a large Giant man
