Do I need a new frame?
I'm fishing for advice, help if you can please. In 2006 I bought a 58cm '05 Bianchi Volpe for $509 new. After riding it for some time now, I think I acted too fast. I'm 6'4" 268lbs, 34ish in inseam with real long arms, and I think my trusted steed is too small for me. I replaced the stock shock seat post with a solid one, a B-17 and a threadless headset riser. It's close to being a comfortable ride, but not totally. I use it for running errands, fitness, trainer, and some short touring(though I'd love to do some longer trips). I'm wondering if I should just tough it out with what I've got or try to find a bigger frame. I don't want to spend a fortune, and would love to just swap most of the parts to the new frame. I've had my eye on the LHT, but my LBS guy says the Cross Check would be better suited for me. Any advice would be welcome, as my wife is sick of me looking for "yet another bike"m and would just like to find a really comfy ride. Thanks.
