  • Genesis sizing is odd; I think it is different. I ride a 58cm day one flat bar but would normally ride a 54cm road bike with drops (or a 56cm with short reach at a push). The stack & reach I usually look for would put me on a small cdf. How recent is the day one you were looking at? Mine is early and was marketed as a cx bike and (I think) pre dates the cdf.

  • I don’t know much about the frame - waiting to hear back from the seller. I ride a small CDF (52cm I think?). Looking at this one for sale, the headtube seems longer - top and down tubes meeting rather than having space inbetween like mine. Beyond that, I’ve got nothing to go on! If it’s different geo, it could quite feasibly be the right size for me, and look like that.

    Edit: looks like a 2015 maybe?

    Edit edit: ok, I unlazied myself and worked out that it is indeed a 2015 Day One - same year as my CDF and according to geometrygeeks, the exact same frame apart from the dropouts.
    So I guess the one I’m looking at is a smaller size (50cm I guess) than my CDF
