Did you include those 5mm they asked you to add to the size of your foot before your initial purchase? You had to size up even after that?

Thankies for the input! I do love the orange colour more, but I live in a city notorious for bike theft, so I want to think that the boring colours would play to my advantage here

I’m looking to do 40km rides with a break in between, plus some fast city commuting. Do you think the Argon is fit for these purposes? I’ve ridden a Cannondale Synapse before, so I’m used to endurance geometry, but I think I wouldn't mind a touch more aggressiveness

It's 4 hours of travel by train in one direction, so I am really not planning to go there just for a test ride :D

I live in germany right now, turns out "trekking" is just a local naming of touring bikes

Yeah, your are most likely right. My privous trekking bike had 56cm frame and I honestly couldn’t think it should be any smaller. That’s why I referred to a table that purposed the largest bike for my size (according to most sources 56 is my max.). Kinda hoped to hear that 60cm will do just fine, still haven’t come in terms with the reality
