Hello all I need your expert opinion.
I am new to gravel bikes and am looking to order one but don't know about the size.
It is for a bike holiday of about 14 days doing about 100 to 175km a day with panniers. For solo road and single track and forrest rides, and the occasional group ride with road bike riders.
I am 178cm, 86 inseam.
Cube’s calculator for this bike says I need an M.
The website of another bike shop says:
So I can be on the very recommended height for the S, or just above the minimum height of the M
What would you experienced gravel riders advise me to get?
Here are some pictures of me on the bike (bleu is M, beige is S). They were not allowed to put paddles on these because these are demo bikes, which makes it a little hard for me to really feel the bike. Delivery will only be in week 8 at quickest. So I better order the correct size first time right..... ;-)
(sorry the difference in angle does not really make it much easier)

- Between 170cm and 178cm = S
- Between 176cm and 184cm = M
So I can be on the very recommended height for the S, or just above the minimum height of the M
