P.S I'm 6' 2". if that makes a difference.
Also - is £650 a fair price for this bike would you say?
Thanks.
I guess its the one on the picture above?
Yes, you are right, with the "sport" stem the Birdy is more aimed at taller people.
But the saddle position can be adjusted (as on the above picture) and the stem can be adjusted in height and 2 positions for the reach for a better fit for smaller riders.
