At 185 cm, 6'1" in old money would an XL camino be too big?
Size guide does say L is up to 6' 2" but thought I'd ask here what people are riding.

Re: Sonder camino XL sizing
I'm bang on 6' and I ride a Large Camino (V2 titanium), it feels perfect for me but I reckon I'd be okay on an XL as well (particularly for easier stuff where I wouldn't be concerned about standover height).
Re: Sonder camino XL sizing
Well I'm 6'1 and a half, or 186.7cms and have an xl Camino. I prefer to err on the larger side for this kind of bike, and I find the fit good. Think you'd be OK with an xl, maybe keep the stem fairly short?

Re: Sonder camino XL sizing
Cheers both.
Really not sure of intended use but probably more road than off road.

I’m 6’1 and have a large Camino v3 for commuting duties, again I could go bigger but it feels bang on

Re: Sonder camino XL sizing
I'm nowhere near your height but found the toe-overlap on a medium intolerable (probably a V2, that funky dull maroon / red / purply colour) so think I should have at least been on a large. Others did not find the lap so bad so just goes to show, bike sizes are probably just like saddles ;-)
A large PX Goldrush is perfect for me, a great riding bike and excellent value.

Re: Sonder camino XL sizing
That's a factor in choosing to go a bit larger size for me, especially using larger tyres and mudguards - and I hate toe overlap. No hint of in issue with 47mm tyres and 58mm 'guards...

Re: Sonder camino XL sizing
It was interesting when I asked about it in my case a while back. Some were of the mind you get used to it and others weren't. Personally I hated it and put it down to poor design, set-up or fit for me. Happily the GoldRush is almost toelap-free
