Been wanting to know this as well. Geniuses look so amazing, but yeah.... geo seems to be getting dated.

What's dated about the geo? Could you enlighten me? HA is 65, SA is 75 i think.

Thanks

From what I can tell, people mainly are talking about the seat tube angle. Looking at it more, it really doesn't seem that dated to me, unless there are other frame geo considerations I'm missing. *shrugs*

reach is a bit short.
stack is low.
the kink in seat tube, combined with low stack, makes the real saddle position further back than the latest geos.

If the saddle position was any more forward you wouldn't be able to get proper seating position with the front of the knees over the pedal spindles. I can barely achieve this as it is.

Change out the bars and move the seat where you feel it’s comfortable. You can spend less than $200 and have the modern geometry you seek.
