      Large inseam for your height! I compared my system six before ordering ostro size 54. I also asked Factor to confirm. I would consider a 54 based on your measurements and current bike.

      I’m 5’9 and a 30.5 in inseam and on a 54 comfortably with a 100mm stem and zero setback post.

    Thank you for a great video.
    Im a bit confused regarding sizing. Im ordering a custom colored one. Im 176 cm tall and 84 inseam. I ride a Bianchi Oltre XR4 in 53 today.
    Factor reccomends a 52 with 25 mm setback seatpost and 120 mm stem. Compared to the geometry on my current bike, that sounds about right as I ride aggressively.
    And compared to the two pro’s (without any direct comparison to their level of course) Michael Woods and Simon Clarke (both 175 cm tall) rides a 52.
    The dealer im buying from wants me on a 54 (only based on height). The same dealer wanted my buddy on a 56, and he’s 183. He went for the 54 based on a bike fit and could not be more happy.
    Our geometry varies even though people can have the same height. But Factors 54 seems pretty large. And when I compare my current bike to a 52 and 54 on geometry geeks, the 52 is the closest match.
    Thoughts?

    • @addictcyclist
      @addictcyclist  2 года назад +1

      Hey! It’s a tough call. I chose to use my current bike at the time and compared the geometry. I then shared that info with Factor and they confirmed. Factor didn’t have their sizing tool at my time of purchase BUT I did in-fact order the perfect size and even the zero offset post. I got fit to the bike locally and we confirmed my initial post was in fact correct. I ordered both zero and 25mm offset for my time of fit. I think either size will work based off whether your using a shorter stem with 54 and maybe zero offset or 25 offset and longer stem. Go with your gut because the last thing you want is to second guess spending this amount of money.

      Interesting that your on a 52. Longer stem would be most logical thing to do but costly with the integrated system. A setback will help but also change your fit relative to your position over the BB. It’s doable if you change the cleat fore/aft to possibly accommodate.
