9/20/2023 9:50am I currently try 60mm +6 stem, 60mil rise bar and 30 mil spacers. Its getting better and better but I still have 3cm to go to unsaggeg saddleheight.

9/16/2023 8:48am Hey folks, I'am in the same boat. I struggled with bike fit forever. I got back to cycling two years ago and been trying different frames since then, to understand how the geometry works and what makes a good fit. I enjoy speccing out my bikes myself so I like to buy bare frames and put on what I like...
