I'd like to see you on a bike 2 sizes larger. Maybe borrow one from a friend/teammate one day in training and take it for a few laps. Take some photos, too. (hopefully) no need to move their saddle or anything. Just see where a much larger frame puts you.
Lemme guess: You are over 6ft tall and that's a 55cm bike?
You need a bigger frame...and not one size larger either.
Actually, I am just a shade under 6’1”, and this is a 58cm frame, I just have long arms like an orangutan and equally long legs (36.5” inseam). I feel like I need a 61-63cm top tube (but want a head tube height from a 56, long and low). No idea how I’ll find an affordable frame solution. Might be more realistic to just take a few inches off my limbs.
