In reply to GingerBread22:
Sounds big. 5'9 and a bit - old road bike, 23" in old money and 565mm top tube, tiddly 9cm stem to get the reach right. Rode it (many) years with a flat back position, always knew it was too big.
New road bike, medium compact geometry, 547mm ETT. Much happier on this.
Where's the front hub when you look down in relation to the bars?
Got any experienced mates that can take a look?
