Hi,
I'm looking to buy a road bike. I have scoliosis, its an s curve so my shoulders are straight and my posture is ok but my torso is disproportionate to the rest of my body. I'm 5' 11" but was measured for a 58. Eventually I plan on getting a custom frame, but at the moment I can't afford it, so the plan is to get a felt f75 through my friend who works at a bike store at 60% off (later I'll canabalize it for parts for the other frame).
The question is, is it better to go for the 58 or something smaller and just raise the seat and the stem?
Thanks,
C
