Bought size L as recommended by Canyon – however 1cm less in height would put in M-L which makes me wonder if M wouldnt be better and less stretched.
Height 187,5cm
Inseam 87cm
New to gravel so not entirely sure what should feel correct in terms of my position on the bike. Especially worried abou potential lower back pain
Any opinion appreciated. Thanks

You need to keep your leg 180degrees down to make meaningful analysis
The reach doesn’t look too bad but your back angle does look really low. Are you sure your seat is set to the correct height (I can’t really tell from the photos)? If it is, your seat would look crazy extended on M and I don’t think it would help with the back angle (since the stack is even lower)
I think you saddle to far back
Well it’s still a racing bike so I guess you’re supposed to be stretched out. Im just assuming but wouldn’t the Grizl be a more comfortable geometry? I don’t think the bike is too big tho, it actually seems a bit small on the pictures. Perhaps get a smaller stem?
