Hello everyone, I would like to purchase the frame in question and I am unable to decide between sizes S and M.
https://www.cinelli-milano.com/collections/hobootleg-geo/products/hobootleg-geo-frameset
I am 170 cm tall and have an inseam of 78.5 cm.
According to Cinelli's size chart, I should be a size S:
However, looking at the dimensions of my current gravel bike, which I am very happy with, in size M and with a 70mm stem, there are some notable differences that have raised my doubts about the size.
My current gravel bike is a Riverside RT920 in size M, specifically:
Comparing the two, both in size M, visually they don't seem to differ much, apart from the Cinelli handlebars, which appear to be much higher:

while here is a comparison between the S from Cinelli and the M from Riverside:

The saddle would be much lower, but the handlebars also seem much higher than on the Riverside.
In short, I'm very confused.
Any advice?
