interesting.
i am 5'9" and have a 31.5" inseam and my LBS sold me a M-S TM02. got it fit and all but first ride out on the roads was nigh impossible due to instability on the front end - knees were practically coming up to touch my elbows and wobbling the front wheel with every stroke.
did i dun goof?
A fitter put me on a medium long tm02 with a 130 stem and I could barely keep thing that in a straight line. The handling was awful and I just kept telling myself it was normal because it was my first true tri/tt bike. After the fork steerer cracked and they replaced the entire frame, I went to the large with a 110 stem and it handles great. No adjustments to the bars because the frame stack and reach was 20mm longer and a spacer taller. The kicker, I'm only 6' but rode steep and am mostly upper body.
