[#2689614]

I won't be upset by any of the comments as I have had the bike since new in December 1997!

Recently started feeling a little short(?) compared with my other bikes despite being of approximately the same size ..... ๐Ÿ˜•

Frame is a 19'', 22.5'' TT, 100mm stem

I'm of normal proportions at 6' 3''

Ignore the front wheel in the shot - back to 90mm rebas and 26'' wheel.

Seatpost and stem are about where they need to be.

As I say just interested .......

I'm 6ft 3, both my bikes have a 24.5inch tt but I only run 60mm stem on average, so it's probably about right

TT sounds pretty short for your height IMHO- I'm 6 foot and find a 24" TT to fit me best (70-90mm stem)

It looks right without you on it! Is that effective TT or actual?

22.5 is actual TT length.

IIRC my Soul is a 23.25'' actual TT but that is run with a 80 or 90mm stem

Look fine from that angle...i used to ride a 18inch kona (23" effective), when i got the whyte i had to get a small as it also had a 23"

Not as paranoid as i used to be about size...i'm 5'10"

6'4" and I'd run a longer 24"+ tt too (up to 110mm stem depending on bike).

Probably too small, but only just?
