Im new to riding and as i ride more and more im starting to get into the geo and stuff and found its pretty important.im riding the 2014 arcade frame with the 20.5 TT and 13.25 CS i suppose? And i kinda feel cramped on the bike(im roughly arnd 5"7 or 5"6) and i ride mainly street.which frame would be nice for me without me feeling to cramped on the bike and still can ride street?The cult sos has 20.75 TT and 13 CS with 75.5 HT angle.The tierra v5 has a 21" TT and 13.2 CS an 75 HT angle.dk which would suit me but what do u guys think?Replies would help me alot smile

Cult for it's TT length. 21 is for the tall guys, really.

Try a 175 crank length and a taller, wider bar. And longer stem.

Those are cheaper than buying a new frame ( I guess).

It doesn't matter where a train goes. It's decidin' to get on that does.

I'd get the Cult in 21", the steeper headtube angle and laid back seatube angle will make it feel like a 20.75".

A half of a degree on the headtube is roughly 1/8" in toptube length and one full degree on the seattube angle is roughly another 1/8".
