Owner is 173 cm. Xs is to small, M to big. Why is the S to small? Toptube is slooping, frame is compact, that's all. Riding is like flying. Sram red etap is stunning, i'm impressed!

Going to Medium would increase the head tube length by 30mm. SM was the right choice.

Size is SM, MD is way to big: toptube is 557mm and headtube 15mm.
As said: I'm 1,73cm with 84,4cm inseam. So long legs, short torso. A toptube from 53,5cm to 54,5 cm is ideal.

BH bikes sizing is... veery specific. I'm 182/85 and Ultralight size for me is M. Same G6, Quartz "L", Aerolight "M".

173/84.4 YOU ARE "all legs" :)

I can be wrong, and have plenty of examples for that ;)

But... unless you are pro, frame is too small.

Edco cassette performs very well! I have some noise when in the big chainring and the higher gears, but maybe that's because it's all new. Chain isn't lubed after factory also ...

Very nice, crank graphics and all.

The too small comment was ill informed. Zero offset seatpost and reasonable length stem = not too small. Now if the seat was shoved a mile backward and you were running a 140 mm stem, then perhaps size would be questionable.

6'1 on a M... Fits like a glove. Slammed stem and urrrthang!

I have long legs and Jordan/Leonard reach. I like the 557mm TT on the M. Small bikes are fun. The BH Ultralight is really a sleeper frame.. Can build into a 9lb WW dream, or easily into a 12lb daily shredder.

xentis wheels are by far my best wheels I've owned: stiff, but comfortable. They are also very durable: in 3 years I didn't had to service or true them once..... Body is getting at the end of his life (cassette eating in the body), but with the sram red an edco cassette, that isn't a problem.

Sram red etap performs very well: not a single misshift. Rear derailleur is very quiet. Shifting is easy and for me fast enough.
