I have battled this all my life, always ridden bikes that were too small, 2+ fists of seatpost, 135mm stems when I was younger, etc.

With a 37in. inseam even tallish bikes end up like this.



Roll into the bike shop like this, guy usually says "whats up with that?" to which I usually say "you tell me", a plumb bob and tape measure later they usually say "huh, that's right where I would put them".

So when this/these came along, I finally decided it was time to see if bigger would be better.





No question, these big ones ride much better, especially on longer rides, several hundred miles on both at this point. Can't believe I waited so long to get big ones.
