I rode a P3C for the last year and even though I was professionally fit, I could never get comfortable and I feel like the bike is too long (51/700). I’ve just found a buyer for that bike and am looking at an 08 Felt DA (50/650) and I’m wondering without going back to a fitter to see if this would be a better fit for me. The stack is the same, the reach is 1.5 shorter and I can get to a 80 degree seat angle (from a 78).
I’m hoping someone has had experience riding Felts and Cervelo’s and can provide some insight as to the difference and if this would be an ok move for me.
Thanks.
Have you considered a 48/650 P3C? Tim
The Felt should fit you perfectly.
Don’t know about the Felt. I was too small to fit a P3C 51 and went with a QR Seduza ('06). I think it is the smallest 700c bike, if you want to stick with that wheel size.
How did the QR fit you and what is your size/proportion. I’m 5’7" with and wear a 29/30 inseam pant. Would that fit me?
it’s interesting that you have problems fitting a 51cm Cervelo. I’m 5’7 with a 32" inseam, so my torso is actually shorter than yours, but i need a 100mm stem to get enough reach on a 51cm, and i think i only ride at 77-78*.
