If you are in between bike sizes what do you choose? This is in reference to a road bike actually. My measurements from my old bike are right down the middle of the specs on a new one. Would you err on the larger side or smaller side? Is there a general rule for this?
I always felt that I was never felt that my bike purchases were the right fit for me. I have long arms and legs, and a shorter torso, and, using broad terms, seem to fall in between a medium and large.
I stopped by Halters the other day, only to have that confirmed by J_. He spent well over an hour putting me on different bikes, swapping out stems, taking measurements, etc. While I still have more questions than answers about sizing, I found it extremely helpful to have someone look at this for me, and I would recommend going to a shop that has the rep for doing bike fittings.
