Ok, I've finally been able to ride my new 56cm CAAD10 Force Racing, albiet on my trainer. My pedals finally arrived. I'm 5'10" and pretty average torso/leg length/arm length. I felt very stretched out on the bike. Could barely reach the brake levers. I bought the bike without trying out a 54cm. I compared the geometry with my Specialized Tarmac, and it seemed pretty close. I'm hoping that a stem/bar swap with shore things up. Would switching to a zero offset seatpost help? I'm relatively dense when it comes to things like this.
I'm guessing the stem is 100mm and I know the bars are 44cm and seems to have a very long reach.
Any thoughts???
