Reach is a function of bottom bracket position as well as toptube length. If you imagine a fixed point at the top of the seattube where it meets the effective toptube and increase the seattube angle, this moves the bottom bracket further back in relation to the handlebars. In other words, reach is a function of feet to hands, not saddle to hands. The seattube angle is increased on the smallest model to eliminate toe clip overlap with the front wheel. With only a slightly longer top tube on the S compared to XS model, the difference in seattube angle is enough to make the reach dimension technically shorter. In our experience, toe clearance and proper saddle-to-handlebar position is significantly more important than foot to hand position.VeloOrangehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06814029344407654254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-59018349333039232322015-06-29T15:43:43.949-04:002015-06-29T15:43:43.949-04:00How does the size S piolet have a slacker seat tub...How does the size S piolet have a slacker seat tube, longer TT, but shorter reach than the XS?.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04158449117861156908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-40157541263971761792015-06-18T20:51:18.867-04:002015-06-18T20:51:18.867-04:00I would love a noir stem for 26mm clamp 6 degree! ...I would love a noir stem for 26mm clamp 6 degree!
