Title: Endurance frame for long-legged guys
Post by: kosmonaut75 on January 21, 2025, 08:38:43 AM

Hello,
I am looking for a new endurance bike frame. I have extremely long legs (179cm with 88 cm inseam) and am therefore looking for a bike with a stack reach ratio >1,55.

I ride a Tantan GR048 gravel bike in L, which fits me perfectly with an 8cm stem (stack 600, reach 381). Now I'm looking for something similar as an endurance bike. The Carbonda CFR1056 comes close (stack 589, reach 385).

Do you know of any other endurance frames with similar values?

Just came across the Carbonda CFR-505 SL, quite a few posts and happy users (my impression) here on Chinertown.
595 / 388 in size L

Xiamen is currently in the crafting process, but I have no idea when it will be released or what the current progress is. The ratio so far was 1.53. You can check there: https://chinertown.com/index.php/topic,4173.0.html

EDIT:
Btw, do you use a seatpost with an offset? And how much? I'm kinda of a similar geo myself (181/88).

My inseam is even 88,6cm according to the bike fitter which results in a significant offset. Enclosed you find a picture Canyon S15. Flipchip for offset is 25mm and the saddle is even pushed further to the back. Distance between saddle tip and middle of bottom bracket is 83mm. As a result I have to shorten the stem to 8cm.

Thank you for the info. In my case the saddle setback (from BB center to saddle tip) is -57mm with 175mm cranks.

That's definitely not a bike for persons with long legs. S/R (of course without spacers) is 1,45...
