Before Team CSC rode on Cervélos, it used a frame that came in 12 sizes yet several riders needed custom-made frames because none of the 12 fit. Now, they use five sizes (there is no CSC rider who needs the 61cm frame) and there isn't a single rider on the roster who needs a custom-made frame. - Cervelo regarding geometry http://www.cervelo.com<br><br> - RyanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4786784182488135171.post-88960525541270494352008-08-11T21:41:00.000+04:002008-08-11T21:41:00.000+04:00Kid-Guess you're one of the lucky ones.

Due to the length of my torso etc. I either have to ride a super long top tube and show only a couple inches of seatpost (iffy standover), or a shorter top tube with a ridiculously long (140mm+) stem. Now I ride a compact frame with a 110mm stem, am able to pinch the top tube with my knees on descents, and am a happier cyclist.Kid Wonderpedaldynamics.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4786784182488135171.post-50762127806286823652008-08-11T02:51:00.000+04:002008-08-11T02:51:00.000+04:00It was only a problem because he grew up riding a...It was only a problem because he grew up riding a standard geometry. If the racer had started on compact and had to ride a standard he would certainly have problems with it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4786784182488135171.post-41049470915979524532008-08-10T16:25:00.000+04:002008-08-10T16:25:00.000+04:00Recently at a three race series near Pittsburgh, t...Recently at a three race series near Pittsburgh, the previous race winner commented that on a steep downhill section, he went to his familiar tuck on a his sponsored Bike (sloping tube) and there wasn't a tube to squeeze with his knees and legs, only the saddle. So a slopping tube is a compromise there in a descending situation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4786784182488135171.post-81204942473325455862008-08-09T17:52:00.000+04:002008-08-09T17:52:00.000+04:00There are so many non-compact frame options out th...There are so many non-compact frame options out that your complaints are really pointless. <br>You guys want a traditional bike?
