Just want someone with the bike to confirm the wheelbase measurements for me, because the numbers sound on the long side (like 47+ for a medium IIRC), and I just want to check if they've been overstated at all.

Basically want an actual/measured WB number, fork used, and maybe some rough idea of how high/low your fork is in the crowns (or an A-C number) for the M and L frames. Not interested in S or XL.

Thanks in advance!

Hey Udi, ask JT.

He rode a medium here with me one day and ordered a large for himself. The medium had far too short a TT for me. Seems like it will have a long wheelbase with the 63° HA and 440mm CS. He loved it on the Champery track by the way.

Mr. W,
I just got off the phone to JT before and he told me the same thing, unfortunately he hasn't got one to measure at the moment. I am leaning towards the large from what he said (I'm 5'11, about the same as him) but I'm curious as to what the real wheelbase number is anyway, just to compare to my current bike.

my medium is 1183 mm long with the fork in the low position and zero stack lower crown. my previous bike was a Large Revolt. and the M Dhr is perfect for me at 176 cm tall.

P.S Sorry about the mixed measurements, some things are easier in Inches.

Thanks guys, the point about the slacker HA and smaller cockpit makes sense now.

Large it is.
