Hi all: I am very familiar with how to correctly fit myself to a "racer" (ie. anything with drop bars).....but is there a difference when sizing yourself for a more relaxed roadster? I'm thinking about the typical 3-speed runabout, especially a utility bike.
I assume that the same sort of fitting takes place, but I find the seat height needs to be higher than expected, and with "northroad" style bars the selection of stems is fairly limited....
Even Sheldon's recommendations seemed geared (no pun intended) to derailleur equipped bikes.
