Slack -> Steeper - what changes are needed?
Quote | Reply
Slowman’s article on 58cm bikes converging made me think about my recent “quick check on my lunch break to see what frame size would work” fit. I am 6ft and very long legged (my seat height was over 80cm) and was ultimately put on a 58 P2. I was only able to overcome the reach by having the seat moved _all_ the way forward. The bike had an upturned 90mm stem and several spacers. If I wanted ride steeper does stem length and/or saddle position/height typically need to change to maintain the proper hip angle (or is hip angle even important)? I was thinking that because I was at the extreme for my reach with the P2 that I may not be able to easily accommodate any position (or aerobar) changes and that the Slice with its 2cm shorter reach would be give bit more flexibility but now I am not so sure it matters. Is it as simple as if they got it to fit then I am good to go?
