My cx bikes are 1-2cm shorter top tube than my road bikes.

My cross bikes are the same size as my road bikes. I'm the same height when I ride cross as on the road.

I prefer a slightly shorter cross bike, find it nicer for technical stuff.

Mine are the same but the stem is slightly shorter. I tried two before that were a bit shorter in the tt but prefer the road bike size with shorter stem for some reason, odd as they seem to measure the same lol
