That's a bit yeah and no, it depends on the rest of the geometry of the bike. If it has a standard length top tube then you will be out in terms of reach. If its a compact bike like a TCR then you might be good. Quite personally I prefer a lower saddle height to begin with. I'm not a fan of compact geometry. That's why I've ridden bikes like CAADs and my Trek which prior to that I had a CAAD5. I believe in classic geometry. What I mean to say is that aggressive geometry that started out with the TCR doesn't really suit me. I much prefer the classic style of a rider like Marco Pantani. That's what I grew up watching in the 1990s in the grand tours and that's what I believe in. Even Lance rode a 5900 once upon a time also.



I preach what I believe in.
