XS (first 5 photos)

– More spacious cockpit. Which is a huge plus.

– Looks more proportional when I am on it

– Seat is slightly forward to compensate for long reach, but have been experimenting with more neutral positions

– Have learned to stop and start comfortably on it but…

– Minimal standover clearance and if I have to bail I have to be careful to land on my tip toes if I go too forward, or I risk hitting my junk

– Wide turns felt a bit tricky at first but as Ive ridden more they feel easier

– Standing to ride feels easier

– Maybe in my head but it feels like I get more power and speed on it for less effort

– Reach feels maybe a bit stretched

XXS:

– First thing I noticed is cockpit feels noticeably smaller. Knees closer to handle bars. I could probably raise seatpost a bit and move seat a bit back

– Slightly easier handling with turns

– More comfortable standover clearance

– Looks a bit small on me proportionally

I am still stuck on which to keep. Right now I am hoarding both. Planning to sell one eventually

    Xxs and get a longer stem – consider redshift shockstop as an upgrade when doing so (similar benefit to future shock) – try r/bikefit for actual number suggestions (read the FAQ and rules when you get there)
