Looking for a friend, just wondering if anyone knows of any bargains on a 52cm.

pretty much all sold out from what I gather so unlikely to be any deals around. LBS are no longer listing that size on their website so could be in short supply

Not true at all. Still available in both colours in all sizes from distributor. However, sizing has changed this year and they’re now XS, S, M, L, XL…

Any idea if the 52cm of old is now the S or M of 2016?

Ahhhh fair enough! In that case disregard my last post!

52cm this year would work out as XS, I ride a 2016 56cm Genesis Datum which is marked up as medium.

50 and 52 were replaced with the XS for 2016.

If you specifically wanted a 52cm Croix de Fer 20 then it would be a 2015 model and these shops should have stock –

Cambridge Cycle Co
Arragons Cycle Centre
Langsett Cycles

There are plenty of 2016 bikes available through all good Genesis dealers.

Err nope. Dunno where you get that idea.

I’ve got the full 2016 Genesis geometry sheet here. And it’s all on the website too.

xs = 47cm
sm = 50cm
md = 53cm
lg = 55cm
xl = 58cm

A medium Datum is a 52cm….

depends how you measure them how, by going on seat tube measurement yes the Datum is a 52cm technically, but they’re measured them by top tube and it’s the way I’ve gone about the sizing as it makes more sense that way when comparing them to other brands. I’m 6 ft 1 and the medium fits me great.

Most people want measurements by seat tube.

I don’t see why they would though as seat tube nowadays have next to no relevance to terms of sizing when compact geometry is taken into account. All I see that way of sizing do is confuse people further.
