Hello,
I'm about to buy a Genesis day one decade but sadly can't get to try out sizes to make sure which one I'll go for. I'm between a small and medium.
I normally ride a 54cm frame and would've gone for a 54cm if they hadn't changed their sizing for 2016!!
Could anyone have a quick look and let me know which one looks to be the more similar size to the 2015 54cm day one model?
Cheers,
G
I haven't looked, but for me top-tube length is at least as important as the seat-tube length
Angles probably don't vary hugely, but smaller frames sometimes have a slacker head-tube angle to reduce toe/wheel overlap at the front. That overlap will be a consideration if you go down a frame size, hence TT length, which is also important for comfort.
A smaller frame might have you bending down further to the handlebars as well, have you asked Genesis for their opinion?
Cheers timba,
Gambled with the small and won! Hooray!
Hadn't spotted this was from a month ago. I was just going to say go for the small 🙂
