Hi all, here is my situation.
The size for me for a road bike is 53cm.
I just spot a titanium bike at really a good deal, but is is a 55cm.
I compare the geometry of the bike I want to buy with the one I have right now
For the titanium 55cm bike, I notice that if I put a shorter stem, move/adjust forward about 0.5 to 1 cm the saddle (because the top tube is slightly longer than my actual bike) and move down a little bit the seat post then I get in theory the same position on the bike.
Arms/torso angle should be the same, my inseam on the bike will still left me some standover clearance inches.
Am I right saying that I should feel as comfortable on this bike than a one that is exactly in theory my size? Is it forcing too much the fit?
Please let me know you point of view.
