On the 60cm I had the hub in view about 2-3 inches under the handle bars. Something I never thought of but a LBS explained to me
So I'm thankful for the support & advice.
Now to find a source for a beginner techniques!
Congrats on the new bike! You should post an updated pictures so we can see how you look on the new bike vs your old bike.
Also, can you explain how the Hub view indicates the fit or how it actually works? I learned that from my dad and It's one of the things I obsess when fitting a bike but don't really know whether it's important or not...
