Happy Holidays!
Could this bike be used effectively as a cross country racing bike that can maybe double as a marathon racing bike?
What frame size do you recommend at 176cm and a leg length of 81cm? So have shorter legs than average.
If you are happy with riding position on your current bike, the best way is to measure your bike's RAD (distance from BB center to grips center) and try to achieve the same value on 909 with 35-40mm stem.
Currently I ride only road bike and cyclocorss, so it is difficult or not possible to transfer these values to a mountain bike, right?
