@t_w thanks a lot, think I'll crack out the tape measure and see how much seatpost would be exposed with both medium and large sizes. Not quite scientific, but have found if this looks ridiculous it's normally a good visual indicator.
@dogs what are the implications of not having very steep seat tube angles when deciding between a med/large? Apologies in advance.
@Dry this is my worry with having a big frame with big wheels, although from all accounts the Soul should have that 'tail wagging' feeling more than the Bfe. Out of interest have you sized down on your frame for whippability?
I did think about sizing down on my new bike. I’m 181cm and was looking at a medium transition patrol. I ended up getting a large because the steep seat tube angle meant on the medium i was very close to the bars with the dropper post up despite it feeling great with the dropper down.
