  • it's 90mm. i have a really long body and arms though, and feel like a bit upright. the guy who built my bike (boyfriend's brother) has got a 100mm and 110mm for me to try... but he's just had a baby last night, so probably not the best time to ask right now!

  • those grips are fine and dont contribute to the problem. Clefty has the right idea IMO. But strangely, I have long arms and long legs, am i a hybrid man/woman??

  • Clefty is right women have longer legs if the bike does not have 'female' geometry the bar position won't be right - for a woman on a mans frame you can't just set it up for inside leg length - you have to adjust arm length too - I'd put money on your riding position being wrong - the person to ask is Buffalo Bill - that man knows his geometry

    Are you hairy..? if so you might be a chimp woman ...

  • yey, another one!

  • You should get together for a cup of tea and a banana

    You sound like my kind of man/woman.

  • I tend not to make eye contact with my man/woman stalkees

  • where's Big Daddy Wayne when you need him?

    Jemjah I have a 100mm ahead stem if you want to borrow and try - it's a fugly BMX type Azionic stem that looks like a piece of the Forth bridge, but its the right length

  • thank you, that's great. If I come up to London next week I'd love to try it. Am going to take the bike out and try changing my style this afternoon....
