Cannondale Scalpel Owners

At last measurement 182cm, but that was after a little stint in space.

 

I currently have an Epic Expert and a Scale RC (both of which will be avaiable soon ;) ) and these are both Large frames, but for some reason they feel a tad big. Well maybe not big, but not "racey". My road bike frames are 54 and 55cm, with the 55cm feeling perfect.

 

But the more you guys talk the more it sounds like a L frame is needed. Pity as there is a great deal on a Medium atm.

Medium definitely too small for you, man. 

 

WRT the Scale & Epic - maybe try shortening the stem a bit, or moving your grips in a tad if they're right at the edges and your stem is already shortish (70mm or shorter)

 

A shorter stem sharpens up the steering, making it more direct, and also has the added benefit of allowing you to better position your body.

 

But 1.82m on a medium? Nuh-uh, bud.

179cm. M

 

Bear in mind the 2016 bikes have the OPI stem and it is quite costly to swop. The 2017 bikes have the more conventional stem.
