Yeah if you have a relatively short torso to leg proportion it makes sense to go 58cm. A bike even slightly too big in one dimension drives me nuts whereas a slightly too small frame in every...

58cm would probably work if you like a road-bike aero position, and the 61 if you prefer a more upright position. I prefer a slightly smaller frame because you get a smaller wheelbase and can run...

You can help straighten your feet relative to the frame by increasing saddle height. I've noticed a lower saddle causes my knees and toes stick out laterally away from the frame, whereas a higher...

Saddle setback is measured by dangling a weight from a string that extends from the tip of the saddle down and over your front derailleur behind the bottom bracket. On a flat surface (not a driveway...

Your saddle is probably too high and too far forward. Can you rotate the crank with your heels on the pedals or do they come off at the bottom? Rotate your pelvis forward so weight is evenly...

It depends on the front wheel toe clearance, but even a 52 might work. 52 or 54. The sutra has long ETT and the larger sizes have tall head tubes. Start with a 54 but don't overlook the 52 if you...

The headtube is fairly long on the mirage so I'd say go with the 58cm. I prefer frames slightly on the small size and loathe frames that are even slightly too large. Maybe he needs a gravel bike like...

You also have to consider variable wear rates on all the cogs and chain rings. Sometimes new chains are wasted on worn components, for example if a new chain starts skipping on the small cogs of your...

Microshift levers need to be a little bit low to improve lever reach since there's no adjustment screw for that.

Fat low pressure tires require more air every three or four days. Roadie high pressure tires require more air almost every day. The valve type doesn't matter.

Depending on your level of wealth it might make sense to get a less expensive aluminum-framed bike first. Aluminum frames are almost as light as carbon at a fraction of the price. You might hear...

The Kona Rove 853 version frameset is a good deal and, someone correct me if I'm wrong, fits 2.1 X 27.5 tires. There aren't many mass-produced gravel frames that fit 2.1" and my sense is that tire...

It would be like the 3T Exploro but with 29 x 2.1 wheels and tires, low Q-factor 46/30 x 11-40. Or maybe like the Kona Sutra LTD but with 853-ish steel. Sutra has clearance for mud-caked tires. Needs...
