IM WONDERING HOW MUCH .25 WILL MAKE ON MY RIDING (I love 180s)
Im currently looking for a new bike to further improve my skills as the bike I have now is about 10 years old and plenty used. Im 5’8 150lbs and currently ride a 20.5……..basically im torn between these version of the same bike (Sunday forecaster) I prefer the gloss raw for aesthetic reasons but at the drawback of its 20.75

Get the smaller frame
There is almost ZERO difference **Edit: correction, the shorter TT frame is physically longer** . Because the ST (“standover”) of the 20.75 frame is longer, it is further back from the BB before the TT intersects it. That means the 20.75” starts from further back, so the HT is further back, meaning the actual BB-HT distance (the size you feel when you’re riding) is practically the same. You can do the math, this is 100% true. You can always move your bars anyway, pick which build is best for other reasons as between these TT next to doesn’t matter at all.
the difference of 0.25 can be eliminated by using a shorter stem and tilting the steering wheel towards you by 0.3 degrees
Buy the one you like the most.
