Looking at bike for junior who is around 5, 9 ish and seen an eddy merchx 54 cm sloping geometry, guess if was standard geometry it would be ok, but not sure if sloping would be a suitable fit. Any advice welcome.

    You compare sloping (compact) style frames to traditional horizontal ones by using the top tube or effective top tube dimension. Sloping frames are designed to be ridden with more exposed seatpost and more clearance.
