does the frame have mudguard mounts? does the frame have rack mount points? "Industry-leading tyre clearance for unbeatable versatility" what's the max tyre clearance? I'm 170cm tall, what size do you recommend? All the bikes I have ridden have been 52cm however I always have to stick a 130mm stem and like a low and aggressive position so wondering if a 54cm is more suitable. I know people of similar height who ride a 54cm.

Hey Sandy,

Hope all is well. The Diverge Comp E5 has a max clearance of 47mm with a 700c wheel and 2.1” with a 650b wheel. It is equipped with mudguard mounts, most brands might need some slight modification to fit perfectly on the bike (mainly a spacer near the BB). A rear rack can be fitted, the standard top mounting points are gone, instead the top of the rack fits to the seat clamp provided with the bike (S194700002). 

In regards to frame size, stem wise there isn't a huge difference between a 52cm and 54cm (10mm). I would use the standover height (722mm on 52cm or 738mm on 54cm) as an ideal sign to pick the right bike. I used to ride 54cm on Trek bikes but found 52cm to be more ideal on the Diverge range. I included a geometry breakdown below of the two sizes which might help visualise them:

I hope this is of help, but do let me know if you need more information on the bike!
Kind regards,
Biagio

Cycle to Work Scheme: Affordable Riding for UK Employees

Unlock a cost-effective way to own the bike of your dreams through the Cycle to Work Scheme. This initiative, available to employees in the UK, lets you enjoy the benefits of cycling while saving on your bike purchase.

With the Cycle to Work Scheme, you can use your pre-tax salary to acquire a brand-new bicycle and essential cycling accessories. This means significant savings for you, as your salary sacrifice reduces both your income tax and National Insurance contributions.

The process is seamless: Choose the bike that suits your needs and budget from our extensive range. Your employer will then set up a salary sacrifice arrangement, spreading the cost of your bike over a specified period, typically 12 to 18 months.

Once the salary sacrifice period ends, you have the option to own the bike outright for a nominal fee, ensuring you get to keep and enjoy your trusted two-wheeled companion for years to come.

Experience the freedom of cycling, save money, and reduce your carbon footprint with the Cycle to Work Scheme. Join countless UK employees who have already embraced this eco-friendly and wallet-friendly way of commuting.
