I hope I am posting this properly and in the correct section of the forums. If not please let me know.
Can anyone tell from the photo if this is the correct size frame for me? I have the seat post adjusted so that when the heel of my foot rest on the pedal my leg is nearly straight. Seat tube measures just about 21 inches.
I recently posted in this forum that I was looking for a 22 inch or 56cm lugged steel touring frameset. My thinking is if I go with a frameset 1 inch longer than this bike than the hanlebars will be higher in relation to the seat. Bending over to low bars has become too uncomfortable in recent years.
But if I did go with a 22 inch frame I am assuming the top tube will be longer and the reach to the bars will be longer and somewhat cancelling out the benifit of lower seat/higher handlebars. I have installed a longer stem to riase the bars on this bike and it has helped with the comfort and enjoyment.
My apologies for the cluttered photo. Please let me know if a "cleaner photo would help".
The hassles of an aging body, I had no idea it was going to be so much work to get old. I know realize why folks retire from their jobs, getting old takes all one's time.
As always, thanks for your help.
