I'm not a beginner but a guy who took about 8 years off from cycling and just finished a bike build. I purchased everything new and on-line. I'm 6'2" with shorter legs and more torso. I was fitted 15 years ago for a 61cm and it seemed fine and i may ave shrunk a bit. I went ahead and ordered a 61cm frame because next one down was a 58cm and felt it would be too small (specialized). Bike build is finished but kinda bumbed because when i stand over it there is really no clearance especially at the handle bars because it slopes upward. Everything I'm reading indicates its probably too big. I'm going to have to live with this but was wondering if the most important thing is seat adjustments and stem length? I'm not concerned about crashing my nuggets, because that never happens. Looking for opinions on whether your reach is really most important? Thanks
