Can anyone confirm if Orange's geometry chart is accurate in stating 20in centre to top? I've got a 2015 mk1 XL and whilst I need the top tube length, I'm considering swapping to a 2016 to gain a little more stand over. If the chart is accurate then I'll gain an inch more clearance. Pretty much everything else in the geometry is the same barring 10mm extra length which I can accommodate by dropping from a 120mm stem to a 100mm (yes, really!)
Yeah, 20in is correct. The large only has an 18.5 so although roomy in the tt seat post extension is the issue. I'm 6ft 1 and couldn't ride a large...comfortably
Much appreciated. I'm just over 6ft 2 but I've got a long back, hence the silly long stem on an XL. Gaining that extra bit of standover from the 21in tube on the 2015 would make it a much more chuckable bike.
Yeah, the stand over is much better on the new frames. The dropped and braced tt is a big improvement imo
