Hi fellow bike-fanatics, I am eyeing a Bombtrack Beyond+ frame to build my new bikepacking expedition rig. However, I am getting confused about the geometry…
- Large: reach=434/stack=644 & XL: reach=459/stack=653.
- I am 1m87/6'2" with an inseam of 88cm/34,6".
- Goal: bars 3cm above saddle, uncut steel steerer.
- Bombtrack (2025) advices L: 1790-1900 and XL: 1880-1990 –> placing me (at 1870mm) in the upper echelon of Large and just below the XL.
- For the 2019 model: exactly the same stack and reach. However, bombtrack places me firmly in the XL-category…
- Will run velo orange crazy bars with 35° backsweep
Which size do you guys recommend? 434 reach on the large seem little, but Bombtrack would advice me to go for Large. I want an upright position with my bars 3cm above saddle. Large with longer stem or XL with more spacers? I don't want to be hitting my handlebar bag with my knees when out of the saddle. Help a very confused friend out, much appreciated!! :-))
