Go up a size? They are long in TT I think.

Didn't think you could get much longer in the TT than a Soul?

Already on a large, and don't really want an XL gate, just want a little more room. But everything I've looked at is the same or shorter. Find it a little cramped when I ride it after riding other bikes.

Using a dropper post, so layback not really an option. And prefer a 50mm stem, not really willing to compromise on that. (yes, being awkward, I hold my hands up there)

Hmm. The answer might be "a Solaris"

I'd always heard they were long and couldn't decide on large or medium after coming from a large P7 which was a big bike. Eventually went for a large Soul and glad I did as it seems noticeably shorter than the Orange.

The KS dropzone is a dropper post with layback.

Why not, surely it's better to have a bike that fits than one that doesn't?

Put wider bars on?

Beaten to it. Sanderson Life or Breath.

My 18" Soloist is a bit long for me with a 90mm stem. And I'm 6'4" with orangutan arms and legs.

IIRC, the Soloist has a longer frame than my Breath...

Thought on-one's were longer but i might be going back to previous perceptions as i went from Chameleon to Inbred and found it too long, now ride a soul but stem is shorter than i had on inbred.

Matt.

Life and Breath are the same, 23", 23.5" & 24" TT on the 16", 18" & 20" frames. The Soloist is an inch shorter on each.

Only difference is the Life is "nice" steel.
