Yet Another Fit question
1. Yes, I've used the fit calculator, my results are below, though I think the leg region is off.
2. The most comfortable bike I own is a size "51" BMC Teammachine, which has a 510mm seat tube and a 535mm (effective) top tube.
3. My 52cm Cross Check has a 547mm effective top tube and it is, frankly, too long. I had to put a -10mm shorter stem on it to make it fit. Vertically it's as comfy as my BMC, though.
4. Given the above and the below, which would be a more likely fit (STxTT), a 499STx525TT, or a 524STx540TT ? I'm thinking it would be easiest to compensate for a 525mm top tube with a +10mm longer stem.
(I'm kinda kicking the tires - again - at this point, so I'd rather not name frames just yet)
