    Hi,

    Im trying to find the right size frame and a TCR.

    What size frame do you use?

    M/L medium large seemed a little short as I maxed out the seatpost to get the right knee bend. Lots of bend in my elbows.

    L Large seems a little stretched out with my arms.

    Maybe I need a shorter stem 10-15 degree stem.

    Cheers.

    FnC.

    Haven’t changed the stem yet but waiting to see how it goes over a month of stretching and dieting!

    When I was on the M/L, I found I maxed out the seat post min level.  

    Looking back, the bike looked funny with a huge gap between saddle and bar height.

    I guess with the large, the head tube is taller by 20mm ish.

    How much seatpost are you using?

    6′ here, or 184cm, and I’m riding an M/L too. 

    I was offered both that size and the Large but felt happier on the smaller frame with a 120mm stem.

    I’m just about 5′ 11″ and ride an M/L which is just about spot on so I’d venture an L with maybe a 10 mm shorter stem would be good.
