I am looking forward to hearing your thoughts on what size will be perfect for me.
I am 178cm with 82cm inseam and ride a 55 top tube frame with a 120mm stem and my bars have an 80mm reach I use the frame for endurance mass start and pursuit so it’s a bit of a compromise and I’m considering trying a 130mm stem.
my guess is that the frame you are looking at would be on the small side unless you have arms like a T-Rex?
