GYM JUNKY Posted September 14, 2010 Share Hi, Solomans measured my legs and it works out exactly on a size 60, so I bought a Trek size 60, but the stem (100mm) is still too long and my back hurts..Is it wise to take a size 58? Is it better to take a size smaller frame and then take a longer stem with the seatpost a little bit longer? or must I take a size 90 stem? Personally I think a smaller bike will handle better... ThanksMarco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiny K Posted September 14, 2010 Share There was a topic not too long ago about this type of stuff..... and for the life of me can't remember what the link was. Here is something similar - http://www.brianmac.co.uk/cycling/bikesetup.htm The problem with this type of thing is you cannot determine your setup on your in-seam alone. It is your whole body's anthropometrics that need to be taken into account. Will search the HUB for the link...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikemonster Posted September 14, 2010 Share I am enjoying that there are about three versions of this thread running concurrently. None yet in Group Rides, Stole Bikes or Competitions. Tomorrow maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manbearpig Posted September 14, 2010 Share When you eventually decide to buy a mtb you will be able to sell a 58 quicker than a 60. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
