Trek sizing...a bit big?
Moderator: robbosmans
Emonda bike
Me=172cm, 5'7"
https://www.trekbikes.com/gb/en_GB/bike ... =red_white
I know its only a 'ball park' figure but according to that, I should be size 54.
Looking at the geometry, a 54 Emonda has:
Reach 381, Stack 555, Seat tube 506, Top Tube 543
My current bike is C60 size 48S, got bike fitted, 90mm stem, other minor adjustments, and its comfortable now.
Reach 384 Stack 528, Seat Tube 480, Top Tube 530
Comparing those number, its huge!
The reach of 3mm isn't much but Stack difference 27mm, and 13mm difference in Top Tube....
thoughts?
I can't test ride one until I visit SFO again, found a Trek store and they said they have emonda demos

Using reach and stack +1
TT (effective TT) is convloved with seat tube angle. Your relative saddle position is the same or similar from one bike to another bike, which means x and y from seating point to BB. Thus reach is a more useful imformation.
The H1.5 Emonda has a much more relaxing geometry than C60. I remembar that 52 emonda is: R 379 and S 54X? It should be also fine for you.

Ignoring the issue with the automated fitting tool recommendation for a moment, that is an issue with monocoque bikes generally, in my experience. As compared to tube-to-tube construction where the cost of moulds for lugsets is lower than complete framesets, there is less 'room' for variability in frame sizes. If you want to replicate the effect of a lower headtube (which is the same problem that I have with fits on monocoques), Trek has historically made an 'H1' variant of the Emonda with a shorter headtube, which you may still be able to find. The new H1.5 headtube is longer than the old H1. If you are riding a 127mm headtube Colnago, the H1 or H1.5-variants of the 54 Emonda should work for you just fine.
With respect to the sizing tools, if you know bikes, ignore them entirely. You know what works for you. With a review of the geometry chart, you will be able to figure-out exactly what you need.

Trek puts me on a 58cm but I'm pretty sure I'd buy a 56.
Stupidity removed. You wanted mote moderation, here it is.
Neff.
I rented an Emonda in February, but honestly it didn't feel much bigger than anything else in 54, it had about 3-4cm of stack and 100m stem though. I would slam an Emonda with about 120cm -17 stem in 54, but then again I like smaller frames. (183cm)

If the joke is aimed at me because of mentioning it's a mistake to go down 2 sizes I wasn't referring to you personally but to someone who is starting out or as far as fit guidelines go for current bike sizes.Lewn777 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 10, 2019 3:52 pm

At the moment, 2 spacers, so 20mm. If I transfer that over to Emonda, how much difference would it make though unless the headtube and seatpost angles are radically different. (I have to admit though, I didn't compare the angles)

I'm 5'7 and have a 52cm Trek Emonda Sl6 (2016 version) .... fits me like a glove
top tube length is what I always look at
My Miyata 1000 touring bike is a 50cm with a similar top tube length to the Trek
