Well-especially at that price-i might just order the on-one bars as well.
I 've never tried one before but the T-buster makes good sense, 'old fart' or not
Now...off to find me a Medium frameset

Wow!

Great looking bike you have there!
I do prefer the colors of the early longitude's, they seem more appropriate for this kind of bike. I would definitely go for a '17 or '18 frameset if these were available.
Anyway, it's good to hear that both wheel/tyre combinations work well and that the bike handles like it's supposed to. I'm riding 26" hardtails for more than 25 years now, time for a change
Those bars really are a bargain! Too bad i don't like to ride with that amount of backsweep.
I noticed you've chosen a 3x10? and mechanical disc brakes? A thudbuster seatpost, a high rise stem...must be a comfy ride!

tnx!

That's exactly what i was looking for. 720mm will do just fine!
How do you like the bike so far?
Are you using the stock handlebar? I'm looking at the confucius bars from alpkit right now.

Thanks reohn2!
Riding a L was never an option and i was really surprised they advised me to do so.
The ett,reach and stack of a M frame are looking really good. I have long arms (ape index +5!), so that would be a problem on the S, i think.
Since you have the Medium size, would you be able to tell me the standover height measured right in front of the saddle?
This would help me alot!

Hello guys,

First post here. Looking for some reliable info, because i highly doubt the information given to me by genesis bikes is the correct one.

This is the mail i sent a few days ago:
"Hello, I'm in the market for a new do-it-all bike and found the Longitude model meeting all my requirements. However, I do have a couple of questions before ordering this bike. It seems that none of the Belgian Genesis dealers have a longitude in stock. So a proper bike fitting isn't possible. I'm 5"8 with a 30.5" inseam. Size medium seems about right, except for the stand over height. Would you advise the S model? Also, a less important question: i'm wondering if there will be any changes for the upcoming 2020 model? (technical/colorwise) Kind Regards, Davy"

And this is the answer i got today:

"Hello Davy
No change to the 2020 model as it is carried over from 2019. In regards to sizing I would suggest a large.
Kind regards
Nick

Would you guys choose a size S over size M? L is out of the question.
It's a shame these bikes are so hard to come by here in Belgium, if i could find one i'd prefer to buy a used frameset (2018).

Greetz,
Davy
