    Just a quick question.

    I am currently looking at bikes online and the sizing has raised a few questions.

    Firstly I'm looking at Dolan and Canyon.

    According to their sizing I'm a large & medium in the bikes I'm looking at.

    But my current bikes measurements are very different like 15mm difference in the top tube length.

    I got the bike second hand many moons ago and it's only been ridden with any real volume this summer.

    Is it possible my current bike is too small. It's a RTS Racer medium with a London 2012 oylmpics logo on it.

    Just double checked my stack & reach
    Stack 510mms
    Reach 410mms

    is that actual or effective top tube? effective top tube would be the length of the tube were it fully horizontal, rather than sloped.

    Effective top tube, used a level when measuring.

    But the stack and reach measurements seems bonkers compared to other bike geometries.
