I want to get this frame but I am not certain which size would best fit me (49cm or 52cm). I'm 5'4.5 with a 29" inseam, 50 years old. I am currently riding a Trek Emonda 2015 52cm with a 80cm stem. I am leaning to towards the 49cm frame since the offset in the seatpost would add to the effective top tube length and reach. My concerns about the 49cm frame is the low stack. I'm not sure if my 50 year old back can handle such a low stack.
Yes. I think Red is about 300g less than Force. I did however save a little weight on the wheelset (weight is 1300g, very light for 50mm depth), carbon saddle (115g), tubolitos (2x40g), tires (240g each), and bartape (50g).
Thanks. Total cost including all the tools and accessories I had to buy to assemble it all myself, was 4k€. I think it’s a great price comparing it to bikes with the same components and comparable specs. A Tarmac SL7 Pro AXS costs 9.200€ and weights 7.6kg without pedals.
It's done
