What should I look out for to know if a bike frame size and geometry fits well for me?
Originally, I thought one of the criteria was having at least 1-2 inches of clearance between the top bar and your groin if you stand feet flat on the ground over the bike. But apparently this isn't a necessary requirement, and that I should use other factors such as the distance between the seat post and the handle bars and the difference in height between the two. But what should I be looking for exactly, like how much bend there is in my elbow while riding?
