Sometimes a brand just doesn't land on your numbers. The size L is pretty much the typical 56. Indeed the 26mm jump in stack from the size M is pretty big. I don't have any experience with frames smaller than 56, but it seems to be that the size M is relatively long and low. If your body is not built for an agressive position, choose your poison - a short stem or a pile of spacers under it.KalleWirsch wrote: ↑Tue Mar 12, 2024 4:13 pmRegarding the frame sizes I have questions marks. The RCR frame is for the "normal standard European" men with a height of 180cm exactly between two sizes. The one is too small in the Stack and the other is too long in the reach.
I don´t understand this decision. Other brands make frames which are for 180cm people right in the middle of a size, e.g. the classical frame size 56 guy.
Don´t understand the Van Rysel sizing here. What do you think?
Never thought of Van Rysel for me but that size L is right on my numbers.
@Maddie, is the SL8 is at the agressive end of the spectrum? At least the gaps between sizes are consistent.
