Hey Guys!
I’ve been comparing the 2010 Demo 8 geometry against the 2008 one.
I found that a 2008 LARGE frame is longer than a 2010 MEDIUM one on the wheel base (KIND OF OBVIOUS), but the 2008 LARGE frame is shorter on the top tube length (SURPRISE FOR ME).
Am I reading it correctly according to the geometries below?
Year.............................................2008...................2010
Size..............................................L........................M
Top Tube Length (Horizontal)............ 23.3....................23.9
Top Tube Length (Actual).................21.6....................20.9
Chainstay Length............................16.6....................16.6
Bottom Bracket Height.....................14.5....................13.5
Seat Tube Angle (Actual).................65°.....................62.5°
Head Tube Angle.............................64°.....................64°
Wheel Base....................................48.0....................47.0
Standover Height............................30.3....................28.9
I currently ride a LARGE 2008 Demo 8 and think it is too long. But it has the perfect seat-to-handlebar length.
So, if I buy the new 2010 frame in MEDIUM, I’ll have the perfect size frame, right?
PS: I’m 6-ft tall.
Cheers!!!
