All,
I'm looking to the forum for options and advice on how to handle this situation. I brought my Specialized Tarmac to a custom builder here in Portland, OR and here were are 5 months later and the frame is nowhere near my size. Here are the specs that are off:
The head tube measures 19 cm- that's 7 cm larger that the Tarmac
The wheelbase is 6 cm longer than the Tarmac
The top tube effective is 1.4 cm longer than the Tarmac
What are my options here? I'm meeting with the builder this morning but he is focused on getting me a shorter stem and not the fact that the frame is gigantic and not what I asked for at all. Any thoughts are much appreciated since this is a $1600 custom steel race lite frame I want to get this sorted ASAP.
