Between the variations of bike geometry and body proportions, saying "x size frame is the minimum for x size person" just doesn't work. I know almost jack about sizing, but this I do know.

not everyone has the same length legs in propotion to their body height. some people like more leg extension than others. some people don't mind a little extra saddle to bar drop. i don't really like my bars the same height as my saddle. also, your seat post is backwards in one of those velospace pics, and you don't really have that much seatpost extension. don walker said something along the lines of "if you only have a fist of seatpost extension, then your frame is too small for you." personal preference. |

that's a good lookin' Trek. Is this here a Campy hub?
P.S. Might I recommend going on a quest for the magic chain length? Even if it's just close, since you're riding SS it won't hurt anything and it would make the bike look quite prime. ...the bikes fresh and im still feeling it out...pistas are only available in 57 or 59...my shop had one 07' 59 in stock at $500 even new...i took it. im 6' with ~33" inseam...stand over is great, and im slowly raising the seat as i ride it...its up a whole 2" form the pics!!! :rolleyes: ...take. a. breath. nobumdeals...nice gang green bud |

If you're talking to me, no photoshop there. I live "on" a golf course and used a friend to balance the bike between shots... :)

thanks. yes. and oh i know...i was about to do just that, but 1. i loved the ratio as is and chain length and chainring/cog size play would been needed, and 2. i just sold it...:( ...the bikes fresh and im still feeling it out...pistas are only available in 57 or 59...my shop had one 07' 59 in stock at $500 even new...i took it. im 6' with ~33" inseam...stand over is great, and im slowly raising the seat as i ride it...its up a whole 2" form the pics!!! :rolleyes: ...take. a. breath. nobumdeals...nice gang green bud and for the low saddle height, maybe it's how it fits you, but the best rule of thumb i've heard is to get the top of the saddle up by your hip bone. good leg extension, good foryour knees, etc.... |
