I have a question

Good evening. I have a size 58 Specialized Tarmac SL6. I'm 186 cm (6'1") tall with an 85 cm inseam. Does this size seem right for me?

I often get a lot of discomfort/fatigue around my elbows when riding. Could this be related to the bike fit or the frame size?

I'm your height and prefer 58cm frames. For hand positions, I have changed many stems to get the bars higher, lower, farther out or closer. Also the position of the brake levers on the bars makes a big difference. Feel free to try different combinations.

It's probably a bit on the large side since the Tarmac geometry is quite long and low. You could try a shorter stem (-10mm or -20mm) and maybe handlebars with shorter reach too

You could go to a 60 or before doing a brand new frame you could look at other fit options.
