54 felt to a Transition M or L
Can't Post
I am thinking about switching to a Transition from my 2007 54 Felt DA. I know they are very different bikes but I think it could work better for me. The stack and reach numbers seem to indicate that the L would be closest to my 54 DA. I do have my DA stem with a slight upward tilt and use Syntace bars, which have a lot of stack compared to most. My goal is no spacers and the 120 head tube on the transition would allow me to do just that. I would be getting the S Works module and be putting my components from the DA on it. I know I need to get fit, but just want to use this as a starting point.

Hey - I went from a 2008 - 54 DA to a Large S-Works Transition. I am about 5'11 and the large transition fits great. Hope this helps

I am really struggling with the numbers here. By stack and reach I should be on a large, especially reach. A taller head tube would be good for me, to limit spacers. I guess when guys that are 6 feet tall are riding the same bike, I begin to question my thinking. I am only 5'10"!
