Victoire Cycles in France has just made a steel cluster like the new Ultimate, aptly named: small triple triangle.

I'm glad that I've just bought one of the old ones. With the significant change to sizing, I'd now fall between the XL and 2XL sizes, and neither would work for me !

Hows that possible with seatpost setback and stem options?
Spacer(s) and longer stem on slightly smaller size or slammed slightly shorter stem on slightly bigger size ..

For my case, it's a combination of not enough headtube/stack on the new XL frame (hence bars would be slightly too low) and too much reach on the 2XL. OK, so maybe I could use a 100mm stem on the 2XL, or flip the stem on the XL but there's probably something else out there that would fit better without having to compromise.

I am probably one of the few who are happy about the change in GEO. I was between M and L, now I am perfect M. The GEO reach,stack wise is kinda similar to BMC SLR01 which suits me perfectly.

I am just not a fan of the new cockpit. I pay for something I will never use. I dont think they make one in 130mm lenght.

looks pretty similar to Cervelo R series.. integrated seat clamp and cockpit looks cool though.

The seatpost clamping mechanism looks interesting.

I know I don't adjust my seat often, but it still looks really inconvenient.

Seat clamp bolt is moved to seat tube! That's awesome but I like 2015bikes design
