Thanks for the input

but I am a little confused. The 47CM(XS) has a TOP TUBE CENTER TO CENTER of 50.5CM while to 50CM(S) has a 52CM TT. Kestrel lists the TT as center to center, that doesn't mean effective TT right? So is the 47CM's TT effective length closer to a 52CM?

Also the head tube of the XS is listed at 12CM/120MM and the S as 14CM/140MM.
