Hi @DaveWh Yeah headset cap is the stock FSA which looks to be about 7mm Centre of crank to seat is about 75.5cm. [image]

[image] This is with the 20mm spacer taken out and the 80mm stem on.

Here’s a table comparing saddle to bar vertical and horizontal distance of the 54 and 56 Diverge, with the two setups of your Cervelo. Do you have a fit you are targeting on the Diverge? e.g. matching the 100mm or 80mm stem setup on the Cervelo? Something in between? Less aggressive than either? …

That is awesome info thanks. I will cross check it on the Cervelo to check. And 100% accept your not a bike fitter! I have only ridden a gravel bike a few times, so wasn’t to sure on what is favourable for them with the longer rides, with regards to stack and reach. I feel a little stretched out w…

I’m 5’9” and ride a 54 on the Diverge. Fits perfect.

Hi Dave, I picked up my Diverge last night. Didn’t get a chance to test ride before buying so it was a sleepless night wondering how it would ride! I did a 45km tarmac ride on it this morning, it felt really great. Super comfortable and plenty fast, averaged 35.8km/h. So I can imagine with aero wh…
