Hi Folks

I have a medium Scandal, the fit is pretty good but my knees get too close for comfort when using a short stem so I'm looking at the Parkwood.

Can anyone with either a medium or large provide the measurement from the centre of the BB to the centre of the top headtube, unfortunately On-one are out of stock of both medium and large until the end of the month so can't provide the figure for me.

Frustratingly this is a key measurement for me that isn't provided by any manufacturer that I have looked at, they have sussed that "reach" is important for when you are out of the seat, but that only really considers the top half of the body.

For reference the medium Scandal is 735mm.

Thanks
Alex

The dimension you need is the square root of (reach squared plus stack squared). MBR call it 'down tube length' although it also includes head tube length.
