It is not just your inseam... your torso length, you arm length.... ALL play into a good bike fit..
ARE you comfortable on the bike.. OR is your upper back really tired.. at the end of a ride....
If you have a sore neck, sore upper back... IT may not be you inseam length.. but the
length between the seat and the handle bars....
There are several really bacis bike fit sits.... just google bike fit... OR go to your LBS and have them measure you....
I have a very short torso, as you can imagine. And short arms. I have a long stem turned backwards so that I can reach the bars. Do you think that this is bad/dangerous? I also have bar ends pointed back towards me so that I can reach the bars easier.
