First can you straddle the bike with both feet on the ground and not have to sit on the top tube? If not you could have trouble stopping safely at traffic lights and such. But assuming you have enough standover height the real question is whether the bike is too long for you. Can you comfortably reach the bars when riding on the tops, the brake hoods and in the drops. If not can you get the fit you need with a shorter stem and or shallow drop short reach bars?synjen said:i just got cannondale six 13 Dura-Ace given to me it is 56cm im 5ft 8-9in inseem 30-31 is it too big and if so what will be the effects?

Im a racer, when i ride it my legs get that tight feeling more easily like wheyour going really hard but im not going hard and my knees get a little soar.dgregory57 said:First question, are you a racer or a casual rider?
If a casual rider, you are fine unless something hurts when you ride.
Since you got it for free, I have an old rusty steel bike (54cm) with crappy ancient modolo and simplex parts that'll fit you much better, how about we swap?synjen said:i just got cannondale six 13 Dura-Ace given to me it is 56cm im 5ft 8-9in inseem 30-31 is it too big and if so what will be the effects?
