You know when you see a dude on a bike, and he looks comfortable, part of the bike and everything seems to just “work”?

I’m on the larger side of average, and I’ve noticed that in photos of me on the bike, I look a bit big.

I guess, that also contributes to why I get a slight “niggle” between the shoulder blades on long rides (London to Brighton being the last example).

I know frame sizes make a certain amount of difference, but is there such a thing as a “long wheelbase” MTB?

Ride lots.

And then ride a bit more.

Get a bigger bike. I look like a bear on a tricycle on a normal wee bike – on my 23″ Turner Sultan with Nukeproof daft wide bars and 180mm cranks I look like a bloke on a bike.

I have a similar question regarding my ‘home videos’ and how they compare to the porn I see on the internet. I think there must be more to it than practice 😕

Get a bigger bike.

You can get different sized cranks?

I used to have a Trek 23″ 4300, but swapped it for a 19″ Rockhopper as it was a better spec bike. Even on the Trek I thought I looked too big.

Just I’ll just have to keep saving/tweaking…

Troy Lee Designs. Nobody will see the bike

Is that Blue Steel or Magnum?

Blue Steel this is Magnum.

Why is he pouting so much?

I find it a bit odd when a man pouts 😕

Blue Steel this is Magnum.

Just purchased a MTB magazine that instructs you how to achieve “the perfect set up”. I’m hoping it has nothing to do with Jeremy Beadle.

Well obviously it will have nothing to do with Beadle, how can that be perfect set up? one brake lever would be far too close to the bar compared to the other! 😳
