Title: New Tavelo Arow has 'interesting' geometry
Post by: Manfrotto on May 19, 2024, 09:27:32 PM: Being short, the BMC Roadmachine 01 is one of the few bikes I have owned that fits me. Well, apparently until the new Tavelo Arow. the geo looks almost identical. Getting my greedy hands on this one ASAP. My BMC has over 100k on it since 2018. Time for a +1 methinks.

Geo isn't remotely similar ...

Maths was never your skill set I guess

Post by: zxcvbnmjm on May 24, 2024, 03:33:17 PM: 1. Tavelo arow thread had already been made. Check the link above and actually read it

2. Geometry doesnt look similar at all according to what im looking at on geometrygeeks. Post screenshots if you think otherwise

You don't need maths. Just the pattern recognition skills of a 5 year old.

Since you say you're short, let's compare the 51s. 54 included for comparison's sake.

They're wildly different.

Yes, different sizes, but size numbers aren't standardized

I doubt little people like being referred to as ants, but i genuinely didn't know 42 was a bike frame size. Or 45, for that matter.
The tooling cost to have fifty different frame sizes for a single model must be huge, i guess the existence of such small sizes means they plan to target China first.
