Crap. I have no idea what to do! I totally can't afford to go to some bike shop & get fitted. I'm relatively certain that 52cm is the correct frame size for me as the top tube sits where it "should" when I'm standing over it in basically flat shoes, I have a 54cm top tube, 70mm stem, 170mm crank set with 48/19 gear ratio. About to switch to 47/19. it's become crystal to me that 48 is too high for me. I was on 46/16 in NYC but felt like I spun too much.
at present, the saddle is as far back as it can go. el guapo says I look less stretched out on the 70mm stem and it does feel more comfortable there. I've always shuffled about, even on the old 52cm, 80mm stem, 165mm cranks.
