I remember seeing pics of your bike - but can’t recall the details. I’m 5’9 (almost) and looking at 700C vs. 650C. If I remember correctly - you ride 700C yet manage to get quite low in front. Mind giving me your details - height, size frame, drop from seat to pads and how you accomplish it. My current bike option is 700C, 55 cm frame, syntace 6 degree stem (100mm) and the max drop with that set-up is about 9 cm. Thanks-

Francois,
Can you elaborate a bit? What does top tube length have to do with anything? What kind of stem do you have and how much extra drop does it give you? I’m looking at a 55cm frame (I have relatively long legs) but with a 6 degree Syntace stem - my max drop is about 9 cm with C2 clip-ons. I’m not sure I’d ever go lower than that (I’m not too flexible) yet would hate to spend $$$$ on a new bike and then decide I want to go lower…I could go 650C. Why did you stick with 700C? Thanks for the input.
Dave
