The image shows a late nineties x-light. It's a little different to the current version as it has seat and head tubes that protrude above the top tube by around 2cm.
My question is, does this change the method of sizing to one's size/measurements.
In terms of seat tube size, I usually suit a 61 ctc.
This bike is 62 centre to top which would suit me - but only 59 ctc.
Do these extended tubes compensate for the lesser standover height at all?
Confused!
Ps I know seat tube size is not the full story when it comes to sizing..
