Remember reading somewhere that they measure their ETT different than almost everyone else... so when I look at Knolly's I look at reach, head tube length and wheelbase to figure how a size will work for me.
They explain their measurement here - [https://knollybikes.com/en-ca/pages/tech-offset-straight-seat-tube-design](https://knollybikes.com/en-ca/pages/tech-offset-straight-seat-tube-design)
But... they did a mid-run reach adjustment on the Fugitive 138 taking it from 491 to 485. So that makes me think that these new bikes may come back a little from their long reaches. In saying that, their Head Tubes have always been short which meant you had options for effective reach adjustment. It might have been 491 on paper, but once you're done with spacers getting your stack where you want it, you were generally left with an effective reach somewhere in the 480's. So if they come back on reach, I hope they also increase stack, either from longer head tubes or adjusted design.
