Hello fellow cyclists
I am new here and I am about to buy my first road bike. I went on today and had a look at a Giant Peloton 7000 in very good condition. However, the bike "felt" a bit small to me, despite the fact that it was size 59. The previous owner was 1.70 and I am 1.86. I could not find what 59 translates to Giant's current chart (S-M-L etc.) but I am very confused as to what is going on. In fact I was so disappointed that when the seller proposed to raise up the seat, I said no as I thought it would still feel uncomfortable. Now I am having second thoughts as to whether the driving position could indeed be improved by adjusting the seat? Thankfully I made a pic with me on the bike, any help as to whether it is indeed small or could be improved with adjustments would be highly appreciated!
Thanks,
Chris
