I recently had a bike fit and I was recommended a 54 c-c top tube with a 90mm stem and 77 cm between the top of my saddle and the center of the bb. Turns out I have massive knee overlap as well so I need lots of setback (seatpost recommendations?). I'm thinking about buying an FM296 from Hongfu. Now if I were to buy one should I get the 55 with an 80 mm stem and roughly 180 mm post showing or a 53 with a 100 mm stem, roughly 210 mm of post showing and a spacer stack? Will the slacker seat angle of the 55 help against my knee overlap? Also, do longer cranks help against knee overlap?
NB: I was fit using the Serotta method.
