I am getting stuck in a look of online bike shopping! But I am a little unsure what size bike to go for on my next bike (I need t get out and sit on a few, bnut its a bit tricky right now as a lot of shops not open where I am).
I currently have a 60cm (Measured from crank to top of seat tube) horizontal frame cube. I think this fits me ok (192cm tall and 89 inside leg), but hard to know as its been my only bike for years.
I am looking at a couple of different rose bikes. Their fit calculators seems to say I should go for a 59cm bike (rounded up from 0.66*89cm leg measurement).
Now until now I have been exclusively looking at Endurance geometries, but I am wondering if I should go for a more racey setup. My worry is not having the same reach (I reckon my arms are unnaturally long!). Using the powers of imaginations here - what should I be considering?
I was thinking about going one size up (61) on a race setup - but is that asking for trouble? i.e. is the lower position really noticeable? What else should I be thinking about here?
