So, it's starting to get to the point where I'm thinking more seriously about the next bike and the Spitfire has caught my eye. I'm coming from a SC Blur TRc in large, which to be honest, feels a bit tight these days.
Based on the fact the Blur feels a bit small, I was thinking I'd bump it up to an XL this time, but from what I read the 2017 & later spitfires run a bit larger? Reach measurements seem to support this, with the Blur at 426mm for a large vs. the spitfires 455mm, but the ETT length is about the same (609mm vs 615mm)?
The goal would be to move most of the gear over from the Blur, 26" wheels & all. So 50mm stem, 800mm bars & a 120/150mm Pike would be the set-up.
So any 187cm or so riders out there who've tried a Spitfire & have any experience on the sizing? Or does anyone know where I could throw a leg over one around Brisbane?
