So I rode the Comax yesterday and earlier this morning. I noticed that I am getting some pain on my bottom then I realized that I am moving forward to reach the handle bars. So then when I ensured the I am comfortable on the saddle, I started feeling some back pains, not sure if this is because I am too stretched out when using the drops.

So I adjusted saddle a little bit, move it towards the handle bars a little bit but then I felt that I got too much weight on my palms to i adjusted it back.

So now my question is, did i get the right size? I saw in the sizing chart for Anyroad Comax in the Giant site that 5'7 is the ceiling for a small and also the floor for the medium.

But then I also saw in another Giant link that 5"7 should be a small.

Now I am confused. Not sure if it is just my body starting to adjust or I actually have sizing issues. What do you think will be best in the long run?

1) Do I swap this with a small?
2) Do I keep the medium then maybe get a 90mm or 80mm stem?

I am attaching a picture of me on my bike with my most relaxed position on the drop bars. Can you comment on my posture and maybe from there determine if the bike is too large or just right for me.

Thanks!
