After all but deciding on the P3 51cm 650cc (5'7.5'') based on my best calculations and suggestions from my local shops - I was in a different city this today and got on a 48cm.
The saddle position was seemed to almost be maxed out and the stem was at the highest position with all the spacers beneath it. The saddle was in the 75 degree position (where normally on the 51cm it was in the 78 degree position) and the toptube seemed to be a pretty good fit. My knees weren't hitting the aerobars and I felt good on it...
Without getting a virtual bike fit - would the 48cm be too small? Was it the seat angle that was throwing my feeling off? How high can the seatpost go before it is legally maxed out?
If I go with the 51cm as originally suggested - can I assume that there will be enough adjustability for me to get the perfect fit that I have been searching for?
Thanks - last question - next posting will be after my first ride!
