I've never bought anything from them, I just want to test a theory.

Teabagging

Bit slow sorry.

Brant love my new Pro X. The only bits I dont like are that saddle! And I need a smidge shorter stem. Lovely to ride though. Just intime for my birthday 😀

Glad we got there with you Hora.
Sorry about stem length. Maybe it's right but you just need to be a bit more flexible?
Stem length is customisable on the site though.
Which saddle did you get that's uncomfortable?

I specced a 110mm stem as I worried that I was on the top end of the recommended sz large already at 6ft1.7. Resting on the hoods, it feels a smidge more instintive (?) to rest my hands a smidge back so 100mm I bet.

The saddles a San Marco. I know saddles are highly personal but its like hard cardboard. I noted bikeradars review pre-purchase but the front isn't flexy at all. Very stable too. Worried and researched a roadbike for over a year to get to this point.

110 is right for you unless you have TRex short arms and a back condition.

But its a off road hybrid bike that rolls quickly 😀

Can you get better rims made up/to run as a 650b?

hora, if its your first road bike you'll adapt to it. Mines got longer and much lower as Ive got more flexible and more core strength, and the original set-up feels like an upright shopper by comparison.

Rotate the bars back towards you a bit.

Also - hard saddles are better. The padding should be in your shorts - padding on saddles squishes up into your perineum and cuts off blood flow.

Nonsense. The patented 'Spongy Wonder Bicycle Seat' takes care of both your arse and your genitalia. Apparently.
