New frame
Setback seatpost
Shorter stem
New bike fit
Thanks for all the advices and help so far guys!
1st rule of bike fitting: Set the relationship of your butt to your bottom bracket first, then decide on the top tube length that will give you the desired reach.
2nd rule of bike fitting: DO NOT move your saddle back to get more reach for your upper body. This will change how your legs address the pedals.
Your fit on the bike is a 2-part system:
- Butt to the Bottom Bracket
- Butt to the Front Axle.
They are related, but should be considered separately, one then the other.
