Hi ENEP,

We seem to have a similar body type. Keep in mind that high stack + low reach = upright position, so not usually found on an aero frame, rather a gravel or endurance frame. In your case, you definitely need to find something with a lower reach, as an 80mm stem is way too short for you to put on an aero frame. Aero frames generally have a short wheelbase and steep head tube angle, which you need to pair with a longer stem, or you end up with an extremely twitchy bike.

I've briefly tried the Carbonda 1056 for it's lower reach/higher stack (it's an endurance frame), but the wheelbase was already too short for my 90mm stem and 40cm handlebars. I'm currently on a Carbonda 696, which is a good fit for me.

For my next build, I'm going for a Yishun G075-D, which is about the only frame that has a short enough reach for me not to have to flip my stem up (which isn't possible with integrated cables). Here's an example build from a local brand (that charges way too much):

Hi svanimpe,

Currently eyeing the 1056 frame and was wondering if you could offer any insight? Am incidentally also about the same build - 186cm, 88cm inseam - and not sure whether to pick between a size L and XL, what was your experience?

Thanks

Hiya,

Wondering if there's anyone out there similarly sized and with experience of Carbonda who can advise on my choice of frame size? I'm about 186cm in height, 88/89cm inseam and wavering between size L and XL of the CFR-1056. XL seems like it might be borderline too big, but I'm equally worried L might be a fit too small. Carbonda don't provide any guidance on fitting so I'm lost a bit in a sea numbers, any help much appreciated!

Thanks,
~Xander
