nero123 Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 Hi Guys, Im struggling to decide on what size frame I need to buy. I am 1.85/6 tall and have vert long legs and a short torso. I currently ride a giant tcr size L but find the top tube a bit long (110mm stem and dont want to go shorter). Should I go for the 57cm BMC or a 55cm? I currently ride with 5.5cm of spacers on the headtube but with a shorter top tube can drop the bars lower. Any advice would be welcome. Nero
BMXER Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 (edited) Howdy, I am 176 tall and ride a SLC 53 cm, 100mm zero degree stem with no spacers. Best fit ever. Edited June 30, 2011 by BMXER
nero123 Posted June 30, 2011 Author Posted June 30, 2011 My Saddle height, from BB (c-t)is 810mm which is as high as George Hincapies and he is 1.91m tall!!
Big JD Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 With that saddle height I think you will have to go with the 57. Out of interest what's the problem in running a shorter stem?
nero123 Posted July 1, 2011 Author Posted July 1, 2011 Ive had a 90mm stem but the bike becomes to twitchy in handling.
