If I can't find a bike that seems like the perfect (53cm) fit is it better to err slightly too big (54-55cm) or slightly too small (51-52cm)? Or should I just be more patient?
Thanks.
Depends what you're using the bike for. For my touring bike, I was much more comfortable on a bike one size "too big" than all the fit calculators claimed. For a sportier bike, one size "too small" can be adjusted out.
