Exact five-size chart from Colnago’s G5-X geometry sheet (owner-supplied PDF), matching the size 45 row on the US product page. Frame stack and reach exclude cockpit and spacers. Colnago’s US size guide has no G5-X section, so no rider heights are stored. Colnago says the G5-X is a new platform, not an evolution of the G4-X.
