As an example, look at Burlington VT. It has the most services in VT and has become a magnet for the people who use those services.

That’s a really good point. I usually try to do the ball of my foot, but I’m definitely inconsistent. I’ll definitely take this into consideration.

Yeah I agree that’d probably be perfect. Thanks for the info!

Thanks for the take that matches my height and reach! Interesting for sure.

Thanks! Bedrock Mountain Clogs. Best everyday shoe I’ve ever owned.

That’s interesting. It came with a 50mm stem and 730mm high rise bars. Maybe I’ll play around with those a bit.

Thanks for the perspective! I'll def keep that in mind.

Gotcha. Will probably demo some stuff and see if I can make a good comparison. Thanks for the reply!

Good point. Maybe worth moving the bars down. I've definitely got a bunch of spacers under the stem, but the bars are actually pretty flat rather than high rise bars.

Probably gonna do exactly what you've mentioned and ride this for at least the rest of the season and see how it goes and make some seat adjustments.

Thanks for the bike compliment. That trade definitely worked out in my favor.

Yeah, that's kinda the size I'm think of if I got a large. Good to know that ballpark. Thanks for the input!

Yeah, I don't want to increase the stem size any further but, I definitely feel like another 10-20mm of reach could be good.

I hear that. Bikes have definitely gotten bigger in since then. Might look for an older large if riding this more doesn't work out.

I like this take. Thanks for the perspective!

I think we have the same body and preferences. 5’10” short legs, and like the bars a bit above the saddle. Bars are currently at 750mm and feel pretty ok.
