I had a bike fit, and the mechanic put a 60mm stem on there with like a 15% pitch. But the handling has been effected.
So I am going to sell the bike and buy something new. If I go for a supersix 52 cm will I be alright? Or is it likely that the geometry doesn't work for me too?
Someone your size probably will most often be riding a 56 if not a 54. The smaller the bike the more aggressive the body position.
