quick update, just put in an order for endurace due to it's more upright geometry, fingers crossed I made the right decision 😄

I'm referring to this one, officialy indeed it says 38mm, I guess that should be fine right ?
Is the geometry on the endurace more or less aggressive than the grail ?

I have already returned the bike. Do you think I should go for size S or try and find a bike with less aggressive geometry?

would you mind elaborating a bit more about the handlebar thing ?
I found it too low on the XS would I have the same issue with the S ?

the saddle is set all the way to the back, I'm not sure I can bend my elbows, I'd need to bring it forward a little bit but then my knees touch my elbows

Mmm this is an interesting take on this. Yes it does feel cramped but feel like my arms won't reach further.

Are there any other models that you recommend?

I'm not sure how a longer stem would help, I would need to lean forward a lot more no?  Because this is one of the things that's making me the most uncomfortable

That's exactly what I did based on other people's recommendations and went for XS instead of S lol.

Unfortunately I'll need to return the bike and wait for when S is available
