I just bought a cervelo dual 10. An awesome ride.
i'm 6"3 with quite long femurs - i was sized up on a 58cm. I thought the fit was good, however after being out on it a few times, my neck is quite sore. My handle bars are quite a bit lower then my seat which is obviously better for aerodynamics but not so good for comfort if i'm doing longer than a sprint.
the seat feels at the right height, and the distance between my seat and my bars feels good. however, i strain to tilt my neck up to get a good view of the road and according to my bike shop, my stem can't go any higher. i have not been sized on a 61cm frame.
does it sounds like i may have the wrong frame size?? or is it simply teething pains with the new set up (it's my first tri bike) and my neck will soon get used to it and i'll get a better view of the road - at the moment i can't wear sunglasses as the top of the frame blocks my view as i'm trying to see the road.
i know it's impossible to say for sure unless you can see the fitting, but i was just wondering if there are any other tall people out there on a 58 and comfortable?? i think it just comes down to the difference in height b/w my seat and my aero bars.....
thanks for any and all assistance.
