And no, I've never busted my balls on the TT, and if you can't physically stand over it, it's obviously too big.
Why don't you continue keep saying everything is just different, frame size is different, geometry is different, everyone is different. Then we'll all just be sitting here, wondering how the fuc.k whatever you say can be backed up with any proof.
Come back with real answers.
Again, you are clueless if you think different bikes, geo and they way people are built with not affect what frame they buy. I never saidSO is the most important thing to look at when buying a bike. I said you can always go just by TT length or ST like you emntioned. Fro some pepole, SO is important. If you have short legs and a long torso, you think TT is the only factor? Yes, get a clue.
Oh? Let me look that up for you:
Did I say I went down a size? I should have said MAY force someone to go down a size. MY bad there.
and I should be listening to your "advice" based on what?
I never said that all people, frames, or sizes couldn't be different, which is exactly why I suggested a video for the OP to find his own right fit.
And only you info is correct??
How do you know the saddle is "too high"? Are you the OP?
and by the way, I'd like to know who these "top experts" are? You?
And I was referring to "most frames" because most people here either have/had budget Taiwanese framesets with road/track geometry or just road conversions.
I never said his saddle was too high duma$$! I said to look up experts Dr. Andy Pruitt and Paul Swift of Bike Fit. No, I am not an expert but learning about fit more and more everyday.
All your posts seem to include an assumption that everyone here is a hipster and don't know what the hell they're doing, when in fact, you're the one with the biased advice and providing sh*t insults with your "advice", with a ******** preschool attitude.
And no, I don't ride brakeless and run red lights, but what seems to you, to be the only type of fixed-gear rider on Earth.
Just going by your attitude. Yet you the one that has given zero real info about fit. None. You the one starting insults. Who didn't get their bottle today?
