    Anyone with a tt/tri frame know about frame size fitting?

    Im thinking because youre stretched so far over the front wheel that you would ride a smaller frame?

    I ride a 56 on the road, would I be looking at a 52/54 or do they just go for a 56?

    thanks

    Most people go a size smaller on a tt frame.

    I'm 6'2" and ride a 56 road bike but a 54 TT frame.

    Before i bought a TT bike, i fitted clip ons to the road bike but it was almost unrideable without a much shorter stem.
    I was too streched out and after a few mins, my shoulders and back would be killing me.

    Theres a good article on TT bike fit here thats worth a read.
