New bikes

Again, you cant really compare new and old bikes anymore, they're no longer comparable, its a new branch on the bicycle tree

That may be the end of this... They're different.

Re:

Funny though, despite this being a “retro” design the geometry is totally different to anything I’ve ridden. It’s much longer in the top tube than what I’m used to, so really hard to get my head round whether it might fit...

Re:

Only a 60mm stem, so at least 50mm shorter than on a retro. No way to compare old and new bikes easily just based on paper measurements.
