okay, so, does anyone else want to play? those questions i asked the OP, if any of you want to know what road bike(s) are perfect for you, you just need to answer these questions: go out to your existing road race bike and measure:
saddle height: BB to saddle top, midway between tip and tail
saddle setback: vertical distance from the saddle nose to the BB.
saddle type: standard saddle or split rail?
nose to hood trough: nose of the saddle, just a straight shot to the low point of the hood, right before the upturn in the hood. make sure the front wheel's straight.
saddle top to handlebar top, just the elevation, the vertical drop, to the top of the 31.8mm section, right next to the handlebar clamp.
I'll play as I'm currently looking for a new road bike anyway, now maybe I can find something used instead of new.
saddle height: 27" (almost perfectly inline with the seat tube)
saddle setback: -1 1\2" (horizontal distance from BB centerline))
saddle type: Adamo Century
nose to hood trough: 25"
saddle top to handlebar top, 1 7\8"
Height = 5'-8"
wingspan = 5'-11 1\4"
I've never had a fit done and this is my first road bike.
