It's a 54. I'll aim to dig out the scales!

maybe the downward angle has me fooled.. I'm in between 52/54 possibly and worried 54 has too much stack.

He has a big stack of spacers and not much seatpost showing. Go on geo.

If it helps I'm 5' 8" with an inside leg of 30". Geo charts put me in the 54 size, and the fitter lowered the seat a little (about 5mm) from my previous bike to help improve things in the knee-lower leg angle. I've down nowt to the spacers as yet, but will get to that in a bit.

I'm 5'8" as well with roughly the same inseam... with a 52 I'd have to get the long post to get the right saddle height.

That integrated stem sure has a lot of stack. Looks like 0-deg

It's the functional equivalent of a -7deg.

As before there's also a low version that will be -13 to -15deg depending on the length.

Mine's finally arrived. Here's a bad picture of it, but I still think it look gorgeous. No ride yet.
Please share your review once you have ridden it. Anyway, hope you enjoy your new bike

I've always wondered about this. I'm also 5'8, but with a 29 inseam. Does that put me on a 52 with a long seatpost, or a 54 with a short one? Sigh

Also make sure to add the height of the saddle itself (~4cm) to the value listed on the geometry page...

I really want to see what a 50 or even 52cm frame looks like. I imagine it will look super awkward.

Here's Audrey's 52cm. I think it looks great.

It seems that a 750ml bottle is already a tight fit at 52, wonder how bad it will be at 50cm or will the isoflow hole be covered by a 50cm/750ml bottle.
