Way up in the first post, you suggested that a 60cm frame is probably a good size, and backed that up with your PBH measurement.
Once you’ve established your acceptable range of sizes, watch the C&V Sales sub-forum. Also check the Sticky threads for the “Frame doesn’t fit”. We all love to help spend other folk’s money!
Haha! Love it. Thanks for both replies. Honestly I think I was just fishing on the bianchi, hoping that as this frame seems like it's not an option something else could be
I think you are right and your pictures were very helpful, I just made a few micro adjustments and things felt a little more natural and I was able to keep a bend in my arms. Either way, I think a 60 cm frame is ultimately what I'm after and now it's a question of how much I try to make this bike work versus just list it for sale and begin the search again
