Thanks for the reply. Guess I'll start keeping an eye out for a used bike. If you think the stem on a 54cm needs to be 130mm, is a 56cm bike even going to be sufficient or will that need a longer stem also?
Crank is currently a 165mm. How much shorter?
Looks like I've always had my saddle wrong then. Glad to know how to finally chase level on it.
Depends how you feel when you start getting locked in... you can find out by buying a used 130mm -17 stem and playing around. If you get lower and longer and feel hip angle impingement then go 155mm.
With regard to a bigger bike, what's your current pad stack and pad reach?
Edit: Maybe you can tell me what you think I am seeing... what am I seeing on your current bike that would indicate what I'm hinting at?
