my body doesn't agree with a compact set-up either which is why i'm leaning towards either the eddy or french fit, and not the competitive fit.
i'm going 10 miles each way and the majority of the ride is on a two lane, 55 mph road so i want to be comfortable, with good control over the bike. i'll also occasionally be using the bike for packed trail riding, i have a dedicated mountain bike for other situations.
out of the three, what fit sounds best for me?
the way i read the explanations and read the recommendations for me for each fit, the compact and eddy are on the same size bike since both have the same top tube length. they're just set up differently, correct?
