- Fun fact: the owner of Ridley bikes named the company because he liked Alien & Blade Runner, and Scott was already taken.BuddhaHat

- Use your bicycle as much as you can, for everything, and don't hang it up... It's one of those things that costs little money and is enjoyed for life.OBBTKN
- The butcher shop is only 50 meters from home... Well, I usually go on my bike. Friends laugh, but it's good for me to train my skills with shopping bags, lol.OBBTKN

Yesterday, I took my new bike to my LBS, only to find out I may have bought a bike that is too big for me. The guy who sold it to me said it was 56cm, but now that I look, the size is not marked anywhere on the bike.
When I stand over the frame, it does hit my balls enough to where the guy at the shop said it's too big. I've also got my seat post lowered pretty low. He said it should be higher than where it is.
Returning it is not an option, so I'll do what I can to fit the bike to me. I'm hoping that when I get cleats, I will ride a bit higher. Also, I'm looking at a shorter stem and maybe adjusting the saddle forward a bit.
Anyone ever ride a bike that is slightly bigger and have any issues? The guy at the shop said I may feel it when I ride over 20 miles or so.
- Don't worry, when you start riding over 20 miles you'll get a new one anyway.palimpsest
- Just saw this post after my comment on your previous one, lolduckseason
- You can make a small bike bigger, but can't make a big bike smaller...duckseason
- Also, you can measure the frame from the center of the bottom bracket (crank axle) to the top of the seat tube.duckseason
- ya that looks like a big bike. 60 cm. Need to be over 6 foot.rootlock
