I'm feeling pretty confident that with the fit info we got this afternoon, I could make the Tarmac set up the same way. I'd also likely need wider bars-- my shoulders are super broad (measured 45.5cm from AC joint to AC joint). Thoughts, anyone?
How about a frame swap? That way, you get to keep your components and have a frame that fits you. Did you think about that? Do you have an idea how much you can get for your Guerciotti frame, and whether it would be enough to get a 61 cm frame? I would go for something like that if I knew I wouldn't loose too much out of pocket.
