Whats the other bike? I want to plug in the numbers into calculator to see how that will compare to what I am currently riding. Having said that, I spoke with guys at Avenger and they recommend 58cm frame for because of the stack numbers. I asked to let me know what would be height be from the floor to the top of the bar (shifter hoods) without any spacers. That will for sure help me select the size.

It's Triban Rc520 size L with the most aggressive setup possible :)))

I am really looking into this frameset but I am stuck on the geomtry.
at 188cm tall I ride a 54s Colnago with 110mm stem and 380mm bar using 2cm of spacers under the bar.
Seat is set at 81cm from bb and the top of the bar at shifters is 93cm from the floor

Here is comparing the two......
at 58cm this one is 10mm longer reach and 10mm taller stack
at 56cm this one is same reach but is 13mm lower stack

I am leaning towards the 56cm frame because of the riser bar..... thoughts?

I am 187 cm and ended up ordering size 56. I spent a few days running calculations through Gemini and Claude based on my current bike. I should be able to replicate almost the exact same fit on the size 56 with the 90 mm riser bar/stem.

However, I also ordered the 100 mm stem to start with a slightly longer reach—my current bike has endurance geometry, so I can comfortably handle a bit more stretch. Since I'm 41, having that second 90 mm stem gives me a solid fallback option for the future if I ever need a more relaxed setup.

Very interesting frame, very temptted to get it (I found the french shop, thanks for the tip!).
Unusual but *important* (for me) as I don't like to look for specific bearings (see Giant OD2), which headset bearings are used? Thanks if anyone can get me this info.

I was inquiring about the headset type and got this reply: 51.8*45*36*L8.

EDIT: however In the user manual there is a different figure:
Headset Upper Bearing MR128R 1.5*45*×45* 070R A2
Headset Lower Bearing MR128R 1.5*45*×45* 070R A2

Anyway, I just made an order, with one extra Y stem for 100 usd.

Hah, I also noticed that at a time, tried again, and disabled uBlock Origin (ad-Block addon), and now I can select stuff. The shop's Javascript was blocked by the Ad-Blocker.

Is it just me? I can't select any options on any wheelset on the XMCS website in ant browser.
