Just asking because going from a 10 to a 7 is clear that something is wrong and since you are not saying nothing else than i ride what ever, so no way to know what is going on.
Big chances the frame is too big plus seat position and who knows what else, would you post a picture of the bike please?
Yea, I do have long legs apparently. I'd be better on a 54cm bike since the top-tube also shortens by about 2cm in most cases, but I'm not in the position to buy a new bike, especially for something that's only mildly uncomfortable after 45miles.
I rode a 52 cm and it felt great, but the seat post was really high. Basically, I think what I'm most comfortable in is a very sharp bend at the hips with the bars being really low and close. As long as my knees don't clip anything and the bike handles alright, what's the big deal right? I really don't understand why bike companies still list sizes in terms of the seat tube, but that's another thread. I might post pictures later.
