  • I think stand over height would be too much on the 58... If I am using it in any way 'off road' then even the 56 is pushing it, with a stand over about the same as my road bike. Is there not a rule of going a size smaller for CX bikes?

  • The new Genesis Croix de Fer have a lower bottom bracket than the old one, so it's now closer to a road bike than CX.

    It also have a taller headtube than the old model, which will fit @spotter a lots better.

    (by the way, the headtube length look unchanged compared to the 2014, it's the fork that's a lots longer than the original).

  • What are we saying then, a 56 will be alright if I normally ride 56, or that I should go for a 54 which will allow for more of a saddle/bar drop if I want to go 'dead fast'?
