Looking at a Genesis Vagabond, geo is here
My Soma ES (56cm) is properly fitted to me for road cycling, I'm stretched out, but have a little bend in my elbows. the frame reach is 395mm. The large Vagabond is exactly the same, even though the effective top tube is 25mm longer. I will defo test ride before I buy, but should I be aiming for that size? The Vagabond also has about 45mm more stack, so I'm thinking it'll equate to the same amount of stretch, just slightly more upright, which would be decent for commuting and touring and light offroad, which this will mostly be for. My ES isn't an overly aggressive position either, and I use a 100mm +10 degree stem.
Any thoughts?
