I was wondering about the sizing for the verve, if they tend to size larger or smaller than indicated? If you’re 6’1, you’re at the top end of a Large OR bottom of the XL. So which way do you go?

Trek CrossR.I.P

I can not believe Trek would decide to discontinue the Crossrip line. Would think the market for a $1000 gravel bike would be strong, no?
