I wanted to move this into it's own thread so I can get some help. Sorry if this annoys the moderators, but I just want to get this figured out.
My girl friend measured me, and I used the fit calculator and here is the results. I have the SST AL 54CM with a 80mm with 25° stem. I am having issues with me knee too far forward and slightly too much reach.

two threads for the same topic...

these guys are going to love this

The numbers say your frame is too big.

Knee too far forward? What shoes/pedals/clips/straps are you using? Kinda surprising with a relatively moderate 73 degree STA and setback post.

Got pics of bike?

As for reach, try rotating bars back a little bit, that'll bring the hoods closer to you. Might need a shorter stem.

I recently got rid of my toe clips, I am found having the ball of my foot on top of the spindle most comfortable with my knee just behind. My clips didn't allow my foot with shoes to get in far enough.
When I adjust my fore/aft on my seat to accommodate, I slide forward off my seat to adjust for reach. I could go back to using a 70mm 25° rise stem but then I fill unstable going down hills (too far forward?). I am not using the stock bars, so it isn't as easy as pull thing upwards. But I will see if I can tweak with my bars more.

Sorry is gonna be right.

Would getting a new fork with a longer steerer work? It would raise my bars and bring them closer too me. The steerer that comes with the SST al is short (6.5 cm)

Do you have pic of bike as it sits?

Cheaper and quicker to get a mad riser stem.

Dinner tonight was awesome. Ribeye, stone ****ing rare. Fries, perfectly salted. Three Long Island Iced Teas. A little carrot cake. ****. Yes.

Oh yeah, your bike ain't fit. Get a new whip, son.
