TyronLab Posted April 15 Posted April 15 Anyone surprised by the average age / weight / demographic in here has evidently not been on your average roadie group ride lately... or maybe that's just the groups I'm fast enough to ride with 😄 At 1.77 I'm exactly on the split between M and L mountain bikes. I've generally been more comfortable on M frames with slightly longer 50-60mm stems but have had issues with my 755mm bb-to-saddle distance causing seatposts to run at ther min insertion. 55cm roadies or M/L gravel bikes are perfecto with ~70mm stems. Size 10 shoes (it sure looks like I'm more on the Kenyan end of the spectrum of torso/leg length here). 35 (or, halfway through a below average innings) 85-89kg depending on how much I travel and whether it's my birthday month.

I still enjoy a good red & beer occasionally) Enjoy my red meat, chicken, game meat & a good wood fire pizza. Coffee black - strong, no sugar. Aim is to get to 79kg and then keep it there. 55 Roadbike L Mtb Size 10 shoe, medium kit  Also 178cm, oscillating between 83 and 85kg. Target 79kg though people say I’m skinny (that’s because I was fat).  I last drank alcohol in 2021. Prefer chicken and fish to red meat though. I take my coffee with milk I recently got into cycling. Bought Large GB on account of OEM recommendations though it feels gigantic now  Â

RoadNoob6 Posted April 16 Posted April 16 (edited) 1.84, 70KG, Size XS (Giant TCR, 515mm top tube). Usually a Medium on an MTB. Â My seatpost is out pretty far, I still have some left to go and am well within the safe limit there. I run a 110mm stem and I'm comfy as can be, slightly more comfy here than on my size 50s Colnago I had until October which had a 54cm top tube and a 100mm stem. But my bike is recommended for riders around 30cm smaller than I am. Â To be fair, I have a short inseam and a long upper body, but the fact that I'm super comfy on an XS makes me feel like bike companies are trying to me people feel inadequate with their size names. Whenever I see people with their seat-posts hardly out with 90mm stems I think there goes another victim of odd sizing conventions. Edited April 16 by RoadNoob6
