Hi folks,
I’m going from a flat bar hybrid to a drop bar road bike. I’m in the middle of medium/large frame size for most bikes. I’m 175cm tall but have a long reach (arm span 190cm). I like to be more upright than racing as commuting. The question is, should I go up to the large frame or down to the medium?
I’m worried that if I go medium the saddle will need raising more than on the large and therefore be higher than the handlebars to get the saddle to pedal height right.
I hope this makes sense.
Many thanks
Adam
