  • Been trying to convince myself my bike is the correct size. Just bought a 130mm stem for it to increase the reach.
    Every time I see myself on it, I can't help but think it looks like a BMX 😂 simple solution; don't look at myself on my bike.

    It's a 56cm Tarmac. Is it too small?

  • To me it looks about right. I prefer my bikes to be smaller rather than larger. If yours is too small then so are my five bikes; but I wouldn’t care as I can ride them as long as I like and they perform exactly as I like.
    130 is on the long side but if that’s what you need then so be it.
    How tall are you?
    How does it feel? Can you ride it for 8 hours without discomfort? Do you feel cramped up or stretched out?

  • Yeh, cheers.
    It was a mate that pointed it out to me and like an earworm, it's been stuck in my head ever since.
    I wouldn't say I've ever really had issues doing long distance on it.
    I'm 183cm on the dot, longish back, hence the long stem. I usually run a long stem on all my bikes. I feel alright on it, but I think a bit more stretch would be better, but not the end of the world.
