Heres my baby. 60cm Tommaso carbon frame and fork. Topolino wheels, Orig8 carbon stem, Weinmann chain, Ultegra gruppo, Vittoria Rubino Pro clinchers and Kool stop brakes. Recent addition, Garmin 800. Only trouble is after 3 years on bike, I find that at 6' tall,[COLOR= #0000ff] it is a size and a half too big [/COLOR]and despite my best efforts to make it fit, the lower back pain is the constant reminder. Will be swapping out all components for a 57cm frame that is my correct size. Any offers on this frame will be taken into account.
I adjust my bar and lever position for comfort and not sizing and if I configured mine like yours, to change the reach, my wrists would hurt after about 15 minutes of riding. I don't think people are fixated on a flat top, but I do see a lot of photos of new bikes set up that way...looks cool I guess. Wouldn't stem length be a better change to make to fit the bike to the rider? I'm 6' and probably couldn't get a top tube measurement greater than 58cm to fit well.All you really need to do is to abandon the seemingly popular handlebar installation where the transition to the brake levers is horizontal & the ends of the drops are pointed more toward the top of the rear tire rather than to the the horizon. For example, compare your handlebars with the handlebars one of my bikes:
Notice that by not fixating on a FLAT upper transition to the brake levers that the levers are about an inch (?) further back AND the Drops are closer to the saddle, too.
