Questioning my choice of frame size
I have a New Albion Privateer that I built up a couple years ago, but lately I've been questioning my choice of frame size, and am considering swapping out the frame for a different size. I have two other similar bikes with similar geometry - a 2011 Bianchi Volpe and a 2008 Raleigh One-Way.
Published Volpe geometry, 51cm nominal: Seat tube, C-T: 510mm Top tube, effective: 525mm Top tube, actual: 511mm Chainstays: 425mm BB drop: 68mm Head tube: 120mm Front-center: 593mm Seat tube angle: 74.5º Head angle: 71º Bike is set up with a Gilles Berthoud Aspin saddle on a Velo Orange Grand Cru setback seatpost, and 80mm Velo Orange tall stack stem with one 10mm spacer Published Raleigh geometry, 53cm nominal: Seat tube, C-C: 500mm Top tube, effective: 530mm Chainstays: 425mm BB drop: 55mm Head tube: 120mm Wheelbase: 1029mm Seat tube angle: 74.5 Head angle: 71.5º Bike is set up with a Brooks Professional saddle on a Velo Orange Grand Cru setback seatpost, and 90mm 17º stem set to positive rise angle, with 35mm worth of spacers underneath I can post pictures later, but based on those numbers, which size frame would you choose for the New Albion Privateer?

https://geometrygeeks.bike/ That may help you. Other than posting photos would would be 1000% more helpful it’s hard to decide since there are so many other intrinsic factors and questions about bike fit. |
48 is clearly the closest to both.

If you know the fork length and offset of the first two bikes, then punch some numbers into here:-
Stack and reach calculator Compare the results with the stack and reach of the Privateer. |

Gee... beats me, sure would be nice to see how extended the seat/ handlebars are from the frame, plus some sort of information on your dimensions. Ie; height, preferred seat height, reach . even a picture of you on the bike. ???
