Stigmata bike setup question

[TLRozzle]

@headstart

The Stigmata frame was updated last year so the 2016 is different than the current version
https://www.santacruzbicycles.com/en-US/bike/stigmata/2 The older version only fits up to a 35mm tire vs 45 mm for the current. With the trend toward wider tires this might may matter for you. The new Stigmata seemed to move towards current “gravel” geometry.

I own a 2nd gen Stigmata and it easily fits a measured 38mm tire with sufficient room for mud. I do not care for the new geometry on the gen-3 Stigmata, don’t need an even lower BB, don’t need more fork trail, done need 650b stuff, etc, it’s a gravel bike now. RIP
