Why not both and go Black Pink instead?

Review: MicroSHIFT's New $125 Advent Drivetrain

@patrickbatemanworldtour89: this is the first time I've ever heard of counterfeit Zee brakes, care to elaborate more? @jaame: ah, those good old days when your short cage Saint broke and you can slap Sora from your trainer road bike

Lee McCormack's Guide to Finding the Handlebar Width Sweet-Spot

@tacklingdummy: I agree. Wider bars (or long stem) will pull my shoulder forward and give me less range of motion if the bike's reach is already long enough. I am 171 cm tall, use 710 mm bar, 45 mm stem, and 450 mm reach bike.

Ridden & Rated: 4 Trail Bikes Under $3,000

@bizutch: 29er version of T8 (and its sub-2k sibling T7) is actually available in medium. Please note that Siskiu's geometry is rather "Asian". I am 171 cm (~ 5ft 9in) and my personal bike is Large-sized 29er version of T7. I guess "short" riders can still fit in medium just fine.

Review: Polygon Siskiu T8

@dydanz: he might have a point. I'm 171 cm tall and feels comfortable on L-sized SquareOne EX. My Siskiu T is L-sized too. Polygon seems a little bit behind regarding geometry. The reach always seems too short for the size and don't get me started on those seat tube angle. Still buy them though. Best stuff for the money. Just remember to go one size larger, slam that saddle forward. I can live with it.

@michibretz: excellent explanation! Just want to point this out though. Dampening makes you wet, damping makes you fast. Says the Vorsprung guy's T-shirt.
