Hello tri-friends!

I've bought my first TT bike but I might have gone a bit small and now wondering if I should even go to a bikefitter even or just let it go and buy one with a larger frame.

Could you please take a pro glance and advise? :)

Cheers,
steve

Generally they say you can fit yourself to a smaller bike but not the other way around so there is hope, but I’m no fit expert.

What is the crank arm length?

Are you sitting on the nose of the saddle?

There are two options for seat positions on the PX. You have the saddle in the option that gives the shortest top tube length, change the saddle to the rear position and try again.
He who understands the WHY, will understand the HOW.

Judging by the spacer tower ( and the stress placed above the headset), and that the Exocet was one of the last relatively long and low frames, I’d say you’d be better off going up a size, at least.
