well it doesn't help at all  ;D ;D
so the question is 81.5 inseam was measured by pressing the book all the way up while standing as it should be? This is also how i measured mine + you need to remember that the shorts insert is another thing that should be removed from that 81.5cm but i didn't personally measure with it.

 and the second one i have kinda short arms

Yes, hehe… but I thought I would be better than nothing :-/

I measured my inseam with the „book method“ all the way up ;-) I guess, I am having long legs compared to other men 🤷🏽‍♀️

can you share your height and inner leg? I am 172 and inner leg 80cm and wonder 50 or 52 will fit better

Well, I am 172cm, too - but with an 81,5cm inseam and quite happy with size 52.

well, here is a first picture of mine... still got work to do (bar tape, road bike pedals, some lighter rims etc ... ).

until now:

frame size 52
color: carbon raw matt
tires: specialized mondo 35
TPU rideNow tubes
sram force breaks
Galfer discs 160mm
sram red cranks 165mm
48t garbaruk chain ring
10-50 cassette
sram axs GX (hehe...)
ryet carbon saddle from AliExpress

still 7,8kg with DMR V12 pedals (430gr) and kinda heavy 50mm rims from Airwolf bikes (about 1540gr)

(still recovering from ACL surgery, that's why I cannot ride SPD SL pedals :-/ )

I have to disagree with you. Compare to my Specialized Crux that is longer and slacker it’s not that fun to ride. And I had the same wheels/ tires on it.


Interesting - but what could it be, since I am still waiting for shipment I‘m just a keyboard warrior :) but looking forward to compare it to my road bike since bb height, wheelbase, chain stay length is similar or like you said shorter/steeper/lower than a crux 🧐

Any idea what the reason is since I guess the frame size is the same?

Tried my bike today. All good. 7.0kg with one side missing bartape. Could easily get to 6.8 with normal tires. These are the TLR RS 35mm at a disappointing 405g each. 35g more then advertised.

Very nice! But i need to ask, how did you manage to get a weight of just 7kg? I think the frame is quite heavy with 1100gr in size 52, which I ordered last week! But looking forward to it
