Hi guys,
I'm a new member on this forum, and I would like to ask a couple of questions concerning my fixie road bike. Hence, two months ago, I've purchased a fixie bike and it cost me over 600 euros. I'm 5'11 (80kg) and my bike is 55cm ram size. Overall, my bike is extremely nice (see pictures) but I'm starting to doubt that this bike is too small for me or haven't adjust appropriately the height of my seat with my handlebar...The guy that made the bike told me that 55cm is fully compatible with my height. Before I purchased this bike, i actually did a test drive with another fixie, but with a flat handlebar and the ride was smooth. Now I had to lower the height of my seat cause its really uncomfortable to drive like that. Also, my drop handlebar (Focale 44) is with integrated stem on it, and It's not even adjustable and I can't even raise the handlebar at all. Now, I can't even enjoy the ride and my legs and knees aren't straight when I move the pedals... If I raise the saddle like in the original picture, my back hurts and I look like ******. However, I can't raise the handlebar as well cause its has fixed height. Should I buy and individual stem and another drop handlebar which is adjustable, cause it really sucks to drive like this!
Could anyone please advice me, what the hell should I do? Any advice is welcome.
Thank you!
Best,
