New Road bike bought for Christmas and set up by pro bike shop. The problem is that Girlfriend is indicating that she has to reach for levers. A quick measurement shows that the stem is about and 85mm.
I have made some minor saddle adjustments for her and it's better but still reaching for the levers. I have the saddle just about as far forward as I can get it.
I think that stem is to long. It's a 50cm bike and she is 5'2" so the frame is the right size. I have the seat height and geometry correct but need to work on the reach and then repostion the saddle.
Any help of any advice would be great. If there is anyone here that has the same set up, I would love to hear from you. For ehat it's worth it's a Road bike. 2007 Motobecane Vent Noir.
Thank you,
Soba
