When I decided to buy a new bike. I decided on a gravel bike. After reviewing many articles and videos, I decided on the CANNONDALE TOPSTONE CARBON 3L bike. The manufacturer recommended a Medium frame based on my height of 6'0, although their size chart said that I could use a medium, large or an extra large frame. I choose an XL frame. In retrospect, a large frame would have been the best size for me at 6' tall, 210# and a 32" inseam. I would have liked to seen, rode and be properly fitted for this bike, but my closest stocking dealership was 3.5 hours away. I opted for the home delivery. While to bike was almost fully installed, I had to do modifications for a perfect fit. I lowered the handlebar to reduce the reach, moved the shifters up some and I had to cut the seat tube. My legs are fully extended at the bottom of the stroke and my arms are comfortable riding on the hoods, shifters or the handlebar. While riding the bike the front spindle is directly underneath the handlebar. Do download the CANNONDALE app. I installed a computer on the stem , two bottle cages and a seat post bag. The Smart Sense lights are great. I keep them on strobe mode. Do order pedals as they are not included. In conclusion, this is a very easy bike to ride and it is very nimble.

Love this bike! Smoothest gravel ride I have experienced. Was sceptical about the built in electronics but found that they are a great motivator as the bike is always ready to rip no matter the time of day. Looking forward to many miles on this bike!

Great bike. Comfortable for longer rides and able to change surfaces with ease.
Local store was great helping me get bike fit to me as well.
