Hi everyone,
I have asked a lot of questions here, and I appreciate everyone's input. I am still trying to decide if the frame I got is the right one for me - more and more the answer seems to be yes - but then again, I might just be getting used to it. It's a 56 cyclocross frame, which should be my correct size (5'10, 33" inseam), except the effective top tube is a little longer than my "ideal" by measurements. I shortened the stem by 1cm, that's the only significant adjustment (other than bar angling, saddle back-forth etc.)
I finally got what seems to be the most efficient way to get feedback - a frame from a video riding the bike. Any thoughts? Note it's a cyclocross frame, so it's supposed to be more upright. Here I am in a parking lot so I am not leaning down too far into the drops, but it's not TOO far from my usual riding position in the drops. What do you think of the angles etc.? Too stretched? Not stretched enough? Any use for another pic on the hoods? Does it look like I got the right size?
Thanks!
