Yeah its strange, from memory @yeahdext said he's 193cm tall and I'm I'd guess probably a similar weight to me around 90-95kg or so?
Obviously most folk riding 58/60 frames are on the larger end of the spectrum but we're hardly at the big fat bastard end. But great that the warranty is there and working the way it should.

@Zed Yup. Hopefully the extra 14mm of seat tube the SL7 affords me will help. 😬
That said, I think much of this manifests in the seatpost / tube design. Sorry 3T, im sure it's great for a whippet, but not me.

Give or take 1 KG / CM :)
Interesting that Specialized market this: "While other manufacturers do indeed make changes to the lay-up and tube shape of their various sized bikes, they make these changes to achieve those stiffness targets which are based off of the 56cm frame. What McLaren, and the new dynamic testing protocol has taught us is that these stiffness targets need to vary by size in order to achieve optimum performance.
So the real revolution that distinguishes Rider-First Engineered from size specific is not that there are changes to each frame size, but that the aim of these targets is not to achieve the same stiffness target — but different targets for each frame which have been established by the forces that the size rider of that bike will exert on it."

I always had reservations about the seat tube / seatpost contact on these frames for teh bigg ladssss.
Seems my concerns were not entirely unfounded.
Absolute jokes.
