Hello,
I am torn between two sizes of road bikes. I'm sure this has been talked about many times in the past.
Size #1 would give me the higher stack to put the bars where I want them near the saddle height. This size makes the standover height higher and the reach longer where I'd have to use a 80mm stem. Stack is 560 and reach is 375.
Size #2 the standover is better and I'd have to use a longer stem, which I'd prefer. But the handlebar stack and headtube is 2cm lower so I dont know if I'd be able to get the bars high enough. Stack is 540 and reach is 370.
Suggests/ advice?
