Bikes: too many

The longer stem and saddle setback are pretty normal on my bikes. I have a long torso and arms, but fairly short legs, so most bikes are a comromise.

My riding style has changed a bit, I'm taking longer rides but I'm not as concerned with outright speed. So I now prefer a more upright position, and a couple of my bikes are getting switched back to shorter stems, which is the unexpected advantage of a too short bike.

A frame that's too small is easier to make fit (within reason) than one that's too big.

Ken.
