Contoura Salerno 66cm: 429mm / 634mm
Contoura Salerno 70cm: 430mm / 665mm

No idea if it’s the same frame as the VSF!

In reply to Jean Serpent. Today a local bikeshop seller claimed that Contoura Salerno and Fahradmanufaktur T-xxl are the same frames. True?

In reply to Alee | CyclingAbout.com. I've got an answer from the folks from Contourna about the Salerno's head tube. 200mm for 66 cm and 230 mm for the 70 cm. Looking forward to see the results in terms of stack and reach. Thanks a lot!

In reply to Jean Serpent.

I’d need the head tube lengths to work out the Contoura Salerno sizing. But they look to be quite large.

Here’s my estimated sizing for the CM 450:
Velo-de-Ville 65cm: 425mm / 621mm
Velo-de-Ville 70cm: 434mm / 644mm

Nice this list! I’m 204cm tall and in the market for a bike. I found some other ones that are not in the list and I’m curious how they compare to these.
– Contoura Salerno in 66 and 70 cm : geometry data can be found here : https://www.contoura.de/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/geometriedaten_contoura-2018.pdf
– Velo-de-Ville CM 450 in 65 and 70 cm : geometry on https://www.velo-de-ville.com/de/standard/cr-mo/premium-cm-450#frame-geometry
The page for the CM 250 ( exists also in 65 and 70 ) is lacking these infos (I have asked for it by mail)

The Specialized Rockhopper is the most generously sized bike I’ve found: https://www.specialized.com/gb/gb/bikes/mountain/trail/rockhopper-comp-29/115498

I am 6’5, but with a longer upper body, in my case, reach would be more important?

Woop , I 've posted my tall Marinoni 65cm ( along with my fatbike ) in the wrong section ,''sport bike'' So ...some redundancy : I'm simply happy with my 65cm custom marinoni 180mm XT crank . For my 99cm inseam ( it's 39 '' ... haha you think you got long leg ? ) I'm not tall , only 6'5'' . I'm set with 35''5/8 center of the BB to the top of the saddle .

I like to see the Rivedel companies Atlantis bike listed. It and several other models are perfect touring bikes. Thanks.

In reply to Julien. Thanks for measuring it up, Julien! Although your details may not be the most accurate, the numbers I've worked out seem in line with the top tube and headtube lengths. I've calculated that the reach is 402mm and the stack is 658mm. Those measurements work out around the same as a 64cm Surly LHT. :)
