Let's see, The fit kit indicated I needed a 54cm bike, but because of my reach I needed at least a 56cm tt so we went with a 56cm frame. I think the combonation of little larger frame and saddle with short rails I couldn't get quite where I wanted over the peddals. So to get a comfortable fit I probly moved the saddle forward 2cm or so along with the stem. Don't get me wrong, the bike now rides fine, I have no pain, and did a metric century on it Tuesday.
I found the information on the Lemond bike geo. a few weeks ago and I think this would have been a glove fit for me. I also notice the Lemond bikes come with a little longer cranks for given size than a Trek does. Why is this. I ride mtb with 175 and do fine with this, the rb is 170mm.
