I'm confused about the geo numbers. The geo numbers from the geo chart suggest a very small frame (on paper). If you compare geo numbers of the large Tyee with frames from other companies, it is in the range of medium sized frames for most of other companies. I am mostly concerned about the TT length and reach. Did you maybe check those measurements? Thanks!

Here are the TT length and reach of the TYEE in size L in comparison to a Specilized Enduro for example:

TYEE TT length: 596mm
TYEE reach: 440mm
Specialized Enduro TT length: 623mm
Specialized Enduro reach: 460mm

In my opinion the ratio of the TT length to reach is fine and correct. It is true indeed, that we keep your frames in comparison to other bikes a bit short to assure a playful and agile handling on the trails as well as a comfortable and relaxed position for the uphills.

maybe that works well for you but that's a pretty small/short Large frame. Way too short for my 1,89m and set-up/preferences.

Coming from a L Specialized Pitch (620mm TT) with a 35mm stem, which feels just right, I am concerned, the large Tyee would be to short. With no option of riding the bike before purchase, this is the only reservation I have. The problem with the XL frame is the seat tube length.

I get your point. In Germany we have the so so-called "PROPAIN Friends" programm. To take part in this programm owners of PROPAIN bikes register with their bike (model, modelyear and size) and we from PROPAIN Bikes arrange test-rides with potential buyers so they can sit and ride on the bike to see if it is the right size. Where are you from?
