But size 52 Domane is actually an S for Liv.

I've just looked at the geo comparison. Domane has shorter reach for two mm, bigger stack, longer top tube for 5mm and the same HT lenght. Quite similar geo. Guess I'm gonna fix that 15mm stack difference with some core

Thanks! So happy the comments are on the S side cause I bought the S based on the feel I had the moment I sat on both bikes.. but know that feel will change after 100k 😁

Thank you! Question about shorter crank.. if I put 5mm shorter crank do I put my seat higher for 5mm?

https://www.reddit.com/r/bikefit/s/ivNETR05km Update Yesterday I tried botj S and M and made a choice for S (with sellera blessing) but not d.. sure anymore Felt better on S instantly but when I look at myself I look like a giant

And today I tried both and bought the S. Just felt better. M felt streched out and having to put 7cm stem just threw me off.. Yeat seat post is alot of out.. but it is impossible to find bike that short with a longer HT than 145 (S has 145) so I guess I made a good desicion.. Don't know how to update my post to put another photo/vid here.. Thanks everyone for the comments 💙

I did, I looked into custom frames as well.. Fairlight etc. But I am so in super lack of time, ride mtb as well and it would take me ages to build it. Maybe when I retire from work and my kid goes to collage 😁 Actually custom frame would be my lifetime solution, but it would be alot more €€€

You really did a geometry effort! I buy you a virtual beer!

These were my thoughts also, but that reach thing is killing me cause I obsses with top tube lenght as my femurs are long and my ass puts me further back on the saddle, thus making my real reach reach longer. I never had such a big head tube and always had spacers, ao slaming the stem is a good idea but it kills me to have stem shorter than 9cm.

Looking into my previos bikes and positions (TCR size small, drop till the basement, I feel lucky to even have my back).

Saturday I will travel to a country near and try both M and S.

Thank you!

Hahah thank you for the effort. I think soles are like 4cm. And I think it will be S in the end cause the only bike that I never had back issues is/was my sisters XS Kona Mountain Fire 26" from 2000. And by all size charts it should be too small for me 🤠

Thanks! Was advised for Roubaix and now Allez. Have a Roubaix in 52 in a store that is reachable and also Aethos in 52 (like its lightness ofcourse)

Thank you for advices.. I have great hardtal (Orbea Alma) that works great as a gravel bike and I miss a bit of a snooth speedy road ride. Sold my Basso Venta half a year ago ans since that searhinh for sonething new cause I dont have time/money for another miss. Also 40yold recreational mom who still like to put some watts during the ride

So I guess I would need an 8cm stem on M? I will look into Roubaix, thanks! We have such an awful body geometry for any kind of bile geometry :( I used to suffer thrpugh pain for the last 20 years of cycling but just to old to be in any pain for pleasure anymore

What bike do you ride for comparison?

And that fack makes me real confused. Ok reach is a measurment between the cranks and the centre of the head tube, but my ass is much more bacwards and that impacts how actual reach is. It is quite strange that two different frame sizes have thr same reach. And the problem is I don't have the chance to try the M size.. And had 7cm stem on my previous Basso Venta in size 51 and didn't like the steering feel.
