I have had a Pro/BG fit done on my current bike and it fits like a glove. I am going to get checked again at the dealer I'm dealing with to just double check before I order a new frame. </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=364#post-1965 Wed, 18 May 2011 03:29:03 +0000 JonC 1965@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>stover,<br /> Thanks for thinking of Moots. Like tbill &amp; Domestique post above, get a proper in-person-fit for the best results. Your Moots dealer should be able to address the questions once they take some body measurements.</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Jon@Moots </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=364#post-1957 Tue, 17 May 2011 18:01:23 +0000 Domestique 1957@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>Excellent advice from tbill, always get a proper fitting, a Moots dealer should do this regardless. </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=364#post-1945 Tue, 17 May 2011 00:03:45 +0000 tbill 1945@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>The effective top tube measurement alone can be deceptive when comparing two different frames. For example, a factor to consider is the seat tube angle of each—if two frames have identical effective top tube measurements but one has a steeper seat tube angle, that frame will effectively have more reach (assuming that the saddle will need to be set back more on that frame to get the saddle in the same place on both frames). There are bike CAD programs that are useful to do more precise comparisons, but I would check with your Moots dealer. They won't let you order the wrong size bike.</p> <p>If you know your contact points (saddle hight, saddle setback, reach and drop to bars, etc.) and are comfortable on the bike, you and your Moots dealer can determine which size is best for you. If you aren't 100% comfortable with your current fit, I would get professional advice before springing for a new frame. I've bought a lot of bikes over the years that I now know didn't (and will never) fit me. </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=364#post-1942 Mon, 16 May 2011 18:03:48 +0000 stover 1942@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>Hello All,</p> <p>I'm about to put down my deposit on a Vamoots frame and wanted to make sure I have my sizing correct. I currently ride a Specialized Roubaix in 54cm which has an effective TT measurement is 54.8cm. Knowing this, my question is should I order a 54 or 55 cm Vamoots. I don't want to be stretched out because I have a bad back and need a more upright position?</p> <p>Thanks in advance. </p>
