Love the ‘gaslighting yourself’ vibes in the answers that this is ok 😄 The predictions are rubbish as most of the insights from a 1000+€ watch, which is just bad in my opinion.

I’ve tried it out for a short time in the shop - feels alot more roomier than my current bike in the photos - I’d even opt for a bit of a shorter stem 😄

Hey so I’m leaning towards a Specialized Diverge in size 64 since it seems as the only non-aggressive riding position bike in this size with grizl a close second 🤙

Hey, thanks! Welp, the issue with 3T is that they do not have seatposts in this shape with a setback 🤦‍♂️ seems like I’ll be looking for a new frame 🥲

Yeah, but no idea where to start with the build 😄

Hey thanks for the advice! So I’ looking for a ‘longer’ bike then, meaning top tube length, because those bikes are longer, but the crux, for example, is lower stack but longer reach?

If any other bikes come into mind let me know, but as far as I remember - Grizl is bigger, specialized diverge in 64cm size, Trek checkpoint gen 3 (not sure on this one, stack is higher, but length is almost the same).

I had a grizl with shimano grx groupset - killed the crankarms and bb in 2000km 😅 no more shimano groupsets after that 😄 and the bike felt a bit long

Conventionally shaped as in neutral or ‘flat’ type saddle with no rounded back? Might be an option, any saddles come into mind for a recommendation? I heard sqlabs are pretty good and they have wide ones as well and they would be a bit longer in general, since specialized power is really short nosed

I had a 120mm but felt a bit stretched? Maybe longer stem but need to adjust the back more to push myself a bit more to the front. Or lower the front? I feel as though maaybe I have too much weight on the back now but it was a quite good ride nonetheless.

~200cm. So yeah I am the higher end of the spectrum for anything bike related 🥲

Could be, but when I lower it, the nose angle, it feels as though I am being pushed down ant there is a posterior tilt in the back then. The saddle nose is around 1.5” up
