Hi, I am currently riding a Caad13 60cm but can not get 100% comfortable I think it is slightly too big. I’m about 188cm tall with an inseam around 90cm which is right at the lower end of their fitting chart.
I have put a shorter stem on which helps but after an hour or 2 I get a sharp pain in one side of my neck. This is my first proper bike. Anyway have been looking at new bikes as there’s nothing else to do at the mo and wish I’d bought disc brakes too.
I have narrowed it down to possibly a Boardman slr 9.6 in large, I’m right at the upper limit of the fitting for this but it seems a more relaxed position and had a large cx from them before which was fine.
Or a Ribble endurance SL in XL, this looks slightly more compact then my cannondale. The only thing that confuses me a bit is the stack is quite a bit lower however the top tube is shorter so would this make it more comfortable or a more aggressive position?
Have a screen shot of the geometry’s below would I be correct in thinking that either of these 2 should offer more comfort of the caad?
Any input appreciated
Thanks
