I’ve been offered a decent deal on a frame that I don’t want to pass up on but the steerer has been cut down leaving the front end 10mm lower than my current regular ride, all components being equal. I don’t have any issues with my current position when I’m in form and well stretched except if I’m riding over 90 miles, which I almost always avoid because thoughts turn to beer before that.
My initial thought is that it’ll be alright but before I blow my beans I thought I’d ask here if I’m being naive?
I’d like to keep a flat stem for aesthetics, obvs. But if I buy it and it does prove to be too low a front end what other options do I have? Other than hours of yoga...
