Riding a bigger frame size?
hello. i have an old road bike that has been sitting in my garage that i want to convert to a fixie. its a bit big, making it a little uncomfortable to saddle up. when standing up, the top tube is up against my "crotch". i know it is big, but is it still worth converting? am i supposed to get used to saddling up by putting my weight on the pedals or is it better to look for a smaller frame?
for those who do ride bigger frames, any tips on saddling up easily?
also, it is a bike with the gear levers on the downtube...if i take the gear levers off, there would be holes..do people bother to patch them up for a cleaner look?
