Need help choosing the right frame size (M vs L)
Hey everyone,
I’m looking for some advice on frame (Cube Stereo Hybrid one 44) sizing because I’m stuck right between M and L, and I often end up feeling too stretched out on bikes.
My measurements:
Height: 179 cm
Inseam: 84 cm
Arms slightly shorter than average (shoulder to knuckles around 54 cm)
Torso also slightly on the shorter side
In general, bikes tend to feel long for me pretty quickly, so I’m unsure whether I should go with an M or L frame.
I’ll attach 2 photos of the bike / geometry / riding position. Based on my proportions and experience, what would you recommend — M or L?
What I’m mainly looking for:
comfortable riding position
not too much reach
still sporty and agile
Would really appreciate opinions, especially from people with similar proportions 🙌
