hello everyboy,
i try to found the correct size for me but it's very hard because i've got long legs and short arms.
so the bike is a merida scultura size
ML 54cm.
i'm 179cm hight and 87cm inside legs.
normally it should be my size because i try many bikes with diferent frame shape and i always been between a medium or a large.
i've tried the bike but the reach is too far for me.(i'm not very flexible).
So i'll plan to change the handlebar forva compact one and change the 110mm stem to a 80mm one which will shorten the reach of 3cm.
frame geometry below:
