Hi folks,
Another bike sizing thread - I picked up this Trek 520 22.5" on CL have the handlebars 2" below the seat (max I can raise the handlebars) I probably should be into the 24.
Been hard back on it for about a month and a half - riding around 60 miles over the weekend (20 each fri, sat, sun). All is comfortable (seat, arms, hands), except neck pain. Looking through all the advice, seems I'm good on the fit otherwise (leg bend, knee over pedal, nose over handlebar, slightly bent arms). I'm 6'2, 230.
My health club guy got me away from bending my neck backwards to stretch it (makes it worse - doh!) - also I'm trying the exaggerated straight back.
Any thoughts - I'm starting to obsess on raising the handlebars - or tough it out - all will settle in time?
Below's a couple shots of the Trek, with and with me
Thanks
Joe
