Hello everyone,
As many of you, im exactly between two sizes (M/L) for my Canyon Aeroad and would love your experience on making a decision.
Im 184cm tall and have an inseam of 86.5cm. Im planning to get the Groove Aero bars and use this bike for triathlon. I also ride a Grail gen1 (L) which at times seems to be slightly stretched although I don’t have any pains or complaints. Grail L reach vs Aeroad L (-22mm) / reach vs Aeroad M (30mm).
The sizing charts from canyon suggest both sizes and their support has also told me the following:
“You can comfortably ride both M and L sizes here. On an M, you'll have a sportier riding position, though it won't be too aggressively sporty since the saddle would only be halfway extended and not at the maximum. On an L, you'll sit more upright, with the saddle almost all the way down. “
Any advice is much appreciated!!

It appears you are looking for bike fitting help. Please make sure you post as screenshot of the Canyon size chart for your bike, with your point in it. See [this example](https://imgur.com/a/ALUfXyy)

You’re looking to get it for a triathlon, so i’d guess you want to sit more sportive and aggressive on it. So i’d suggest go with the M.
With an upper body that long I would order a longer stem with an M or an L. Or you do get a bikefit before you buy. (Im in the same range and got an M Aeroad with a 120mm stem)
