Why would they do this to me? I spend forever and a day figuring out which companies make the biggest bikes, and come down to Cannondale and Trek at 63 cm center to center. I buy a Trek. I ride it, it feels good. When the honeymoon ends, it feels too small. Woe is me! I bought a huge bike and it's still too small! I must go custom! No bike will ever fit me! But wait...

Today I measured my Trek as I continued to toy with the idea of a custom frame, and guess what? The seat tube is less than 60 cm center to center! WHAT!? Maybe that explains something about my discomfort.

Lesson learned: I will always take my own measurements before buying a bike.

Published specs = hogwash? Or did I miss an asterisk somewhere?

The more I learn the more I realize I don't know anything.
