k, well, I'm glad I'm not going crazy then

Tommy, the best way to fit yourself is to just sit on as many bikes as you can, get as many measurements as you can, combine what fits the best. It seems that all I ever did before I built up my new bike was research, research, research, it's time consuming but it's totally worth it and there's a lot of good resources around here and most of these guys in these forums are more than willing to help. The key is to just have patience and don't make an irrational decision because you're getting twitchy. If you do enough research all that usually needs to be done are some minor adjustments once everything is put together.

This is just my opinion from what I've learned over the past year, I'm just trying to pass it along whether it's correct or not and hope it finds it's way into the right hands.
