I think I could make both sizes work, but I'm leaning towards the 59cm. I'd also be a little worried about the standover on the 61cm. The guy at the bike store said I'd need an 80mm stem to make that work. The 61cm gives me +19mm on the stack (perfect), but +8mm on the reach.

Really, I'd like the stack a little higher.

That bike works well for me, though I end up with 35mm of spacers and a +10 degree stem. You can also pick up the frameset in black for. The Salsa Warbird is a gravel bike and all road bike just waiting to be unleashed on. Salsa offers the 2021 Warbird in three other builds including the Warbird Carbon GRX 810 in blue (4299), the Warbird Carbon GRX 600 in red (3299), and the Warbird Carbon Apex 1 in off white or light blue (2799). I have a Salsa Colossal that is almost identical in stack and reach to the 59. The Warbird Carbon AXS Wide has an MSRP of 6,999. If both sizes seem reasonable (for example a 85mm stem on the 61 and a 100mm stem on the 59), then I would go for the smaller one, since it will have a better weight distribution, with more weight on the front wheel for traction. I used it only as a commuter and what a commuter it has been. Awesome bike, if your looking at this you know what it is. One scratch on top tube, bought it that way. Fits 59-60 Excellent condition, not perfect as I do ride it. How does that compare to the 59 and 61 Warbirds’ stack and reach? 2013 Salsa Warbird titanium gravel/cyclocross bike for sale.what stack and reach does that bike have?.Do you have the fit dialed on your current bike?.

The best way to know is to compare it to the reach of your current bike: But this doesn’t tell you anything very useful. I am (nearly) 6’5” and running the 61 cm with a 130mm stem.
