They list a size XXL as a 61cm but as far as I can tell, with the new integrated seatpost "wedge" system they lose 6cm in height from the BB centre going up the seattube because it no longer has the more traditional protruding collar for the seat post.
So is this really a 61cm bike or not?
I.e. At 195cm I ride bikes with 61cm measurements from BB centre to the middle of the top tube...and from what I can make of this one...I'd need a super long seat post (around 400mm) which I dn't think they manufacture in the Ritchey Aero posts...
Its seems a little vexing to me...but maybe I'm missing something...
what you are missing is that seat tube measurements don't matter. neither to tt lengths or head tube lengths.
4 measurements really matter on a bike. Stack, reach, st and ht angle. thats all. really all manufacturers should use these metrics to size bikes. then all bike would be easily comparable. 55,56 m,l xl it all means nothing really.
