From the link, the seatpost in the specs is 400mm. I’ve having a tough time with the seatpost being too short for a medium, which is good to a 6’ (182.8cm) rider height.

For a medium size,
The seat tube is 450mm
The seatpost is 300mm (after 10cm insertion)
Guessing the cranks are 170mm.
Maybe a saddle thickness (incl rails) of 50mm
That totals 970mm or about 38”. With a slightly bent knee I’m guessing that is about a 38-1/4” inseam.

I’m not 6’ (180cm is about an inch less than 6’), but a 38” inseam seems enormous, and for every 10mm another 3/8” is needed to have the seatpost above the minimum.

I’m not saying you don’t have a 39” inseam at 5’11”, but I’m having a tough time with the numbers.

And if you bought a small size, the website shows it is too small for you.
