Plus mortals are not answerable to Instagram followers

#instafamous for un-cut steerers in the background of cycling cafe instaposts also don't count

@Dick - Can you try out one of these in XL for a while? I'll pay you a fair price for it.

My CAAD10 with Red 22 comes in at 7.10kg with all alloy parts (Thomson Masterpiece post, elite stem and ritchey wcs logic II bars, alloy wheels) Its the 48cm frame though...

Photo?

Also going to be listed for sale at the weekend

Any takers pop me a message - this will almost definitely be split

is it just that you have cut the forks too short on your bikes?

don't sell just yet, wait until you have the fit done

The 56/54 debate is a pain. I'm not going to give any suggestions, but how tall are you//inside leg// ape index?

Also, I'd quite like a cannondale crankset and spiderring, maybe go power free on race bike, as it seems a little pointless.

Dude just wait until the fit, it's easy to replicate the position of your Trek on the Cannondale.

If you don't mind a zero degrees stem that is.

@dancing james @eyebrows I'm just going back to basics for a little bit - I have a bad habit of buying and building out of impulse. I think I like the building of bikes just as much as riding.
Both CAAD's are great bikes, I've loved riding the Disc - It's brilliant, and the few times I've taken the other out it's been great on the track.

I've been getting a lot of heat from the mrs recently to thin out the bikes and we're both starting to be a little more conscientious about unnecessary spending in order to put some money away for a house. Hence the cull. The sizing is just part reasoning and easier to explain publicly than an essay!

And, I only took a few mm of steerer off the 56 and the 54 still has about 30mm of spacers!

I dunt get it

You calling me trumb?

Worse, I am calling myself Chris Christie.

How tall are you? I'm about half an inch under 6' and ride a 54, but if I was any taller I would probably size up.

100% lfgss'd

I'm 178cm and have always ridden 56's - should have really gone that way with the CAAD!

Btw, sorry I didn't get in touch yday @Borek - it was one of those days - package is with me and will be posted to you SD at lunch time, should be with you tomorrow morning!

I'm 177 and ride a 54cm with a 130 stem, slammed. I also have +10cm ape index i'd be surprised if you can't get a 54cm to suit, depending on your proportions / flexibility

Which geo Emonda did you have? H1 or H2?

yeah if the 56 fits surely you can just bosh a 15mm spacer and longer stem on the 54 to get the same position?

I've got a 140mm stem on there with 15mm below I think.

Maybe I've actually made it too big for me......

When i went through bike fitting i could basically run a 56cm with 110mm or 54cm with 130mm.

I preferred a 54cm with a long stem from a handling perspective

This is also my preference - I ran my 56 Emonda with 130 stem and could have probably got away with a 58.

What is ape index?

Ape index is the distance from fingertip to fingertip across your chest with your arms horizontal.

It's meant to be the same as your height (in theory), mine is +100mm.

I have an easton EC90 130mm 0deg stem you could try? Also have 130mm -6 3T ARXII, i'm in Parsons Green

Will be measuring ape index when I get home.

I've got a 130mm on the way, will see how I get on with that, the 0deg sounds like a good idea potentially aswell. Will stay in touch
