Hey all, due to sponsorship reasons I am going to be purchasing a 2010 kestrel, more than likely the air foil pro sl or the 4000 shimano. I’ve read through a ton of forums and measurement posts, but haven’t found too much fitting my needs. I’m trying to find which size will fit me best
I’ve been riding a Medium 2008 QR Caliente, and I think it is on the small side for me. I’m not too sure if i’m long/short legged/torso, always just figured I was average with long arms, but here are my measurements per Competitive Cyclist (do not have fist measurements). I try to ride with flat back due to lb disc issues and therefore ride pretty steep (but not a ton of drop). I know not to make final decsions based on comments here, I just wanted some feedback so I know what I’m getting into. Thanks!
