Thanks for the tip Dan. These look like great shirts, just in time for new

I think Riv recommends the largest size you'll fit because it can make it
easier to get the bars high, relative to the saddle. Basically, on a bigger
bike, your saddle is lower relative to the head tube, so the bars start out
relatively higher than on a smaller bike where your saddle would be
