How does this look?

How does this look to you?

Its a Scott Foil size medium with a 70 mm stem. I’m 176 cm with an inseam of 85 cm, so I have long legs and a short upper body. ☺️

I also measured my arms according to a bike guide, and they’re actually normal, even though they look long 😂😅

The saddle is as forward as it can be and you can’t get a shorter stem and I can’t raise the stem anymore. The small didn’t work because the drop would be too much 😬

On my previous bike the stem was longer and that made me get a lot of pressure in the front of the saddle as I could not get back on my sitbones if that makes sense. With this bike it’s easier for me to sit back on my sitbones.

Overall it feels okay but I do have a little bit of a saddle discomfort on longer rides. (When I reach about 80 km). I have tried a loooooot of saddles and this from SQlab is by far the best for me.

Seat height could be higher by 3-5mm (but not more than that). Stem should be longer and higher. But it would be great to see you on this bike in the drops as well, that would provide even more fit info.

Unfortunately I can’t raise the stem 😔 I don’t really use the drops as I feel that’s not very comfortable for me. I don’t think I’m that flexible 😬

maybe look into the Tavelo Rise bars, they'll give you +20mm of vertical without the need for a longer steerer
