Trek Checkpoint SL6 2022

[Cattiy]

Here it is.
Weight list is obviously incomplete. I am a bit disappointed by the total weight of 8.6 kg. At some point I will change saddle, seatpost and Carbon spacers that will bring another 150 g. But thats about it.

Don't worry about the weight. You have it nicely equipped and it looks very good. The moment you start pedaling you won't think about the weight.

Very nice build, looks superb. What size it is?
MY2022 Checkpoint is the best looking gravel bike.

Hi I'm 182cm and can get a frameset of 52cm
I've seen the top tube is quite long and therefore consider even this small size, what do you think?

52? I am 178 with a saddle height around 73cm. I have a lot of post/seat tube showing. I think a 52 would be tiny.

Top tube length is irrelevant. Look at stack/reach for starters. I'm 178cm with 81cm inseam and I ride 54 frames.

Thanks a lot for your support
I'm currently having a canyon ultimate in size m, a venge in size 56 which fit just fine.

The checkpoint slr version in size 52 is very similar to the canyon ultimate in size m.

I need your support as the frameset is quite cheap and it would be nice to have a high quality gravel bike which fits

What is your saddle height? Trek list the max on the 52cm SLR to the saddle rails at 70.5cm. That is with the long mast cap.

Yes, with the mast style, one has to remember to carefully calculate that part when we are so used to just having a long seat post if needed.

This Checkpoint really has to be sized like we had to start thinking with descending speed oriented trail and enduro bikes where a stem 35-50 is the norm and expected for the ideal handling. On this Checkpoint, like compared to the 2022 boone i had in 58, and was one size too large, when i overlay the checkpoint with my kona major jake or the boone in 56, I also like the guy above am drawn to "hmm, maybe 54 instead of 56". Now, I do know i could fit onto it, but the 56 stack will still be -5mm from the slightly too tall 58 boone stack when using this overaly website:

Their overlay combined with geometry geeks geo charting, helps me compare to my known perfect fit bikes and my pro fitting sessions.
