Had a great day at FOD today, but just feel my bike is too cramped.
It's a 2012 trek fuel 9, in med. I'm only about five eight, but it feels like I can't quite get comfy.
I've changed the stem to 90mm and the seat post is lay back.
Anyhow I fancy a change, can anyone recommend me a long frame, to go with my 140 forks and 26'' wheels?
Cheers.

5ft 8" & you think your'e a short arse?
Try being 5ft 5 1/2 with a 29" inside leg.

FWIW, my FS is a 16" Orange 5, albeit a 2010 model. Fits me spot on.

Try 5'9" (and a bit) with 29" inside leg....have to find frames that can be modified to fit.

Current ride is a '13 large wicked 650b that I had the seat tube to top tube support removed...seat tube shortened and a new support welded on to sit better on the new shorter seat tube

5ft7 here and my 16" 2016 Orange 5 is just about perfect.
