fit calc and kilo tt pro
I'd like to purchase a kilo tt pro when they hopefully restock in the fall at BD. Based on the results of the fit calculator I believe that a 57cm would be in order. Anyone care to share an opinion?
thanks.

If you took your measurements properly and looked at the geometry chart, everybody's opinion is worthless.

You did the math and measurements. You even spared us the infamous fit calculator post.

I seem to fall in between the 55 and 57. Looking at the competitive fit, the c-t seems best for the 57 but the TT seems best with the 55. I have read it's better to get a little smaller then a little larger. Guidance appreciated.
55cm (c-c) is 58cm(c-t) with TT of 560mm and standover of 32 inches 57cm (c-c) is 60cm(c-t) with TT of 575mm and standover of 33 inches http://www.cyclesmercier.com/geometry_tt.html |
It's better to get a bike that fits.

TT is more important is it not? You'll have more flexibility raising your saddle than having to bring your seat forward and risk having to get a shorter stem if that's not enough. I'd say go for the 55.

I am about the same height as you. Last time I plugged my numbers into the fit calculator it spit out larger numbers than you got. Its a good idea to measure 3-4 times and take the average. In my experience, its better to err on the larger side. I normally ride 58cm frames (competative fit). I can always make a size larger work for me, and set it up more like an Eddy fit, but its more difficult to get a smaller size to work because I either end up needing more stem spacers than I would like, or riding with too much drop. Good Luck! |
If it was me I'd probably go 55 with drops (if you can handle a little bar-saddle-drop) or 57 flats/risers, might even consider the 60cm.
How close to Fla. are you? |
I too prefer more of an Eddy fit.

Yeah, bike fit weenies hate me. Ask me what size I ride and I'm like 53-58cm road, 15.5-19" MTB.
