I have been doing a lot of research over the past few months on small bikes. I have a combo of short inseam, short torso, short forearms, which has made shopping for a tri bike a nightmare. I currently ride a 2007 49cm Orbea Diva road frame that needed a 50cm stem and 36cm handlebars to work for me and I'm still a bit stretched.
I've engaged in preliminary fits for a Guru but am having second thoughts, based on some minimum frame measurements they quoted my bikeshop. I read the entire section on bikes for small riders the other day. I noticed it was written a few years ago now. Can anyone who contributed to that (or anyone else with an opinion) comment on the new Fuji D6 frame and the new Kestrel Airfoil frames? These both appear to be bikes that could work for me, although I'm concerned about the 700c wheels on the Fuji.
Thanks,
Sascha
