Thanks that’s an awesome outline for sizing and very helpful!

When I bought the Planet X I thought it’s reach was long at 427mm for the size large (especially when compared to an xl 60cm Dolan tc1 frame has a reach of 410mm) but I guess I need to do some research on other frames to see what a standard reach is for a frame if this size. Unless of course they aren’t measuring them the same way?

Regardless when I bought the bike I was unaware of what my reach needed to be - I went more by rough estimates based on my overall height rather than specif length of my torso etc.

Hopefully I can get a longer stem on the Planet X without too much negative impact. I already get a little bit of skipping when I’m really pushing on, so I dont want the skipping to get a lot worse as when it happens it can really ruin your flow.

I guess testing is the best way forward.
