Now I'm riding a 56cm Tricross and it fits nice and I like it. Either I shrunk 2cm in the last couple of years or bikes are getting sized different. What gives?
Yeah, I found I had the same problem with my belts and pants. They were all shrinking. I found out out how to fix the problem and now they fit correctly.
