hi!
i’m currently riding a Surly LHT in size 58 (700c), and i’m thinking about getting a Crust
Evasion as my next bike. i’ve been going back and forth on which frame size to choose.
188 cm (6'2") with a 90 cm inseam.
my 58 cm LHT feels just about perfect—not too big or too small.
for the Evasion, would you recommend a Large or an XL?
i'll probably run flat bars at first, but I might switch to drop bars down the road.
really appreciate hearing from anyone around my height or with experience sizing the Evasion.
thanks!

I’m not your height nor do I ride an evasion but if this can be of help to anyone : [https://bikeinsights.com/compare?geometries=5a53d515545d640014827fdb,68e9fce8f5bbf0001b7c8ab7](https://bikeinsights.com/compare?geometries=5a53d515545d640014827fdb,68e9fce8f5bbf0001b7c8ab7)
You’re switching from a bike that is know to be so bombproof that its the choice of world travellers, to one that’s notorious for snapping in half in a year. Wild.
At 188cm with a 58 LHT fitting you well, I’d probably go XL on the Evasion. Its geometry is a different beast from the LHT, with a longer reach and taller stack, so sizing up keeps you from feeling cramped if you swap bar setups down the road. Email Crust though, Matt is super helpful with these sizing calls.
