Canyon framesize XL or 2XL
Hi
Looking for help deciding which canyon frame, I should get.
I did the measurements on competitivecyclist.com
Actual Inseam: 93 Cm
Trunk: 69 Cm
Forearm: 37 Cm
Arm: 72 Cm
Thigh: 64.5 Cm
Lower Leg: 59.5 Cm
Sternal Notch: 158 Cm
Total Height: 194 Cm
Their competitive fit tells me the frame should have these dimensions:
Top Tube Length 57.7 - 58.1 Cm
Seat Tube Range CC 60.2 - 60.8 Cm
Seat Tube Range CT 62.1 - 62.6 Cm
Stem Length 12.2 - 12.8 Cm
BB Saddle Position 84.1 - 86.1 Cm
Saddle Handlebar 58.3 - 58.9 Cm
Saddle Setback 7.5 - 7.9 Cm

Here are the Canyon frame sizes

It may be easier to watch it here, scroll down to Geometry: https://www.canyon.com/_en/roadbikes/...95#tab-reiter2
Looking at top tube seems to put me on XL, looking at seat tube puts me on 2XL. Also 2XL have a wider handlebar, which may be better for me?
What do you think?
Thank you!

Do you know what size handlebar you need? Wider isn't better. There's various ways of fitting a handlebar, most of them based on shoulder width, but ultimately it is a personal decision. Of course you could always replace it.
Just ignore the seat tube recommendation. It isn't important or relevant at all. Canyon uses an actual C-T seat tube, the fit calculator uses a virtual/classic C-T. That's what the seat tube length would be if the top tube were horizontal and not sloping. Either way, you don't need a long seat tube unless it would make you use an unusually long seatpost which is not a problem for you.
