Thanks for the comments, my current frame is 54CM with 172.5 cranks. The size feels good, but maybe, if anything, slightly too big, so for years I thought maybe my next bike would be a 52CM. But lately I've been thinking that the bigger frame keeps the top of the head tube higher, giving me a LESS aero position, which is what I want. I definitely want the endurance positioning. My fit isn't giving me any pain, but I'm wondering if there's something else it's costing me, like less power? Or something. Just noodling for some ideas to check


I agree on the narrower bars, wide makes me feel like I'm leaning too far forward and all my weight is on the bars.
