How tall are you, what sort of riding are you looking to do, drop or flat bars?
If it helps, I'm 6ft and ride a 56 frame. 100mm -17 deg stem (so basically horizontal), drop bars. All day comfort riding position, not too high not too low. And that's v2.0 frame. v4 seem to have shorter reach but higher stack...

I’m the same height as you and I’d be using drops. I’m looking for something a bit more upright I guess, hence the thought process in going for the 54 with the shorter top tube and reach... saying that, the reach between the 54 and 56 isn’t that different, so it might be worth looking into the Double Cross which is a more upright position.

After some advice on sizing if anyone can help... on paper I should be going for 56 but they seem to be quite long in the top tube department with a reach that’s not far off my road bike (which is a 57). My old cross bike had a 555 top tube with about a reach of 385 which was perfect... should I be looking at the 54 high has a shorter top tube and a reach of 391? The Double Cross looks great as well but the distro hasn’t got my size in. Plus anyone using cable disk brakes over hydraulic?
