Morning, I must have had 10 bikes in the last 4 or 5 years and have struggled to get the fit right on any of them. Im 6ft 2.5 (189.5 cm ) with long legs and relatively short torso. The Retul had my saddle height at 884mm. I always struggle to get a short enough reach on what is normally a Large or XLarge frame.
Ive had two Retul fits with different people and both came up with very similar numbers of Stack 699 / 707 and Reach 444 / 424 first with Prologo Nago 40 saddle and the second with a stub nose Fizik Mystica.
At the moment I have a Orbea XL frame with semi integrated FSA bars, this gives me the stack but even with the pads all the way back I struggle to get the reach short enough.
I had planned to swap to a Scott Plasma 5 XL which I picked up second hand, but now I have it I'm looking at it wondering if its too big and I should have gone with a Plasma in a Large frame.
Any advice would greatly appreciated. Would consider changing to anything for a comfy ish aero fit.
Many thanks Dan
