Master  2491   |  Subject: New Bike...Hubba Hubba!That's not the stock seat post, as I'm 6'6" and had to order one special. The only other change is the red Adamo road seat. It's fast!!! (P1000249(3).JPG) Attachments ---------------- P1000249(3).JPG (80KB - 5 downloads) |

| Master 1810 Morse Lake, Noblesville, Indiana | Subject: RE: New Bike...Hubba Hubba! Very pretty bike. Couple of ??? - they may sound like, but don't take them as a criticism, I'm just starting to look at bike fit for different people to see how they ride/efficiency, and I don't normally get to see bikes for people as tall as you. Is it too small of a frame? You have a very tall seat post and a very large rise on the stem. Did someone fit you for the bike before you bought it to make sure you were getting the correct size/correct bike? There are other bikes that may have been better for a tall guy like you. You may have even been better going custom. How steep are you riding it? With the very tall setback post and the stubby little seat, it looks like like you may not even be riding at like 72*-73*, giving you a very acute hip angle. Does not look very efficient for a tri position. Both questions are unless you have very freak show body measurements. I'd love to see a picture of you on the bike to see how it really fits for someone as tall as you. It's a learning thing for me. Any of the more experienced bike fit people please speak up if I am mistaken, I'm definetly no expert on bike fit. It is a very nice looking bike though. If it's too small, I'll give you $20 for it... ;-) Edited by tjtryon 2009-07-03 10:44 PM |

I'm very thrilled for you, there is nothing like a well fit bike, especially one as beautiful as yours. Can you please do me a favor, as an educational thing for me, and take a picture of you sitting on the bike in aero, leg closest to the camera in the 6'oclock position? I'm not doubting you in the slightest bit, this really is an educational thing for me. I'd love to see the dynamics of someone so tall on a bike. |

Thanks a bunch, I can't wait to see. Compared to you, I'm genetically challenged with little stubby 29.5 inch legs. Edited by tjtryon 2009-07-05 8:15 PM |
