Hi,
gonna order a BFe frame. I am right on the sizing between small and medium. I am about 175cm tall, but short in the leg for my height.
I also ride a medium (17" frame) Whyte T130 which has a reach of 611mm. the Bfe's reach is 597 and 614 respectively. I have to have the reverb slammed in the frame due to shortish legs 32" and the reach feels fine.
Bike will be used for mucking about in woods, winter hack, a few jumps and local single track/trail centres, nothing too long as I will use T130 for that.
so do I size down to make it more chuckable or will the medium be chuckable enough?
sorry effective top tube is what I quoted there, not reach!
Small will definitely be too small! I'm 179cm and rode a medium Soul for years and I'd buy a large if I was getting one now. Note that the longer the fork, the shorter the bike feels when standing up.
Medium will feel like a BMX compared to your T130 - will be fun and very chuckable!
