Scott CR1 size advice

porlyworly

Looking to pull the trigger on a Scott CR1 SL but can't decide between size Large (56cm) or Extra Large (58cm).

I'm 6"1 and currently on a 58cm Genesis Equilibrium, any Scott owners on here can advise?

Yes, I'm 6'4". My Genesis Vapour 60cm before I crashed it was if anything slightly too big for me - I ended up putting a shorter stem on. With hindsight the 58cm probably would have been perfect - I did try both but until you ride a bike for a considerable period, you can't be sure.

I've now got a 58cm Scott CR1 which is perfect sizing for me.

But that's me, it all comes down to your own individual proportions, flexibility, preferred riding position etc.

By the way, are you looking at the absolute bargain CR1 SL frames from Westbrook Cycles?

I'm 6'1" 32" inside leg and ride a 60cm Equilibrium and think it's perfect. Normally I'd be 58 but the Genesis measure the bit above the top tube so it's not really a 60cm, more like a 58. Confusing ?? maybe top tube length could be considered.

Don't let the cat out of the bag! I'm umm-ing and ahh-ing about one myself already.

Better off buying the frame and the bits surely?

And on the same subject, are there adaptors for this frame for Campag Ultratorque? Ad lists BB as BB91.

@Porlyworly - it would be the 56 for me and I'm around 6 - one and a half. But long legged so short torso. If you are in any way geometrically normal, 58 sounds about right!
