try to get handle bars that have backward sweep and seatpost with zero set back i guess.
btw do u have any lower back pain or pain on the palm of ur hands? if so then confirm the position not suitable.

i'm also using a frame too large for my size, but seems to be doing ok. no back pain yet, but palm abit sore after the 47km i did last weekend. but that is also due do my thin gloves. haha.

Thermal, what's ur height? And what is your bike size?

Seems like u already changed your stem to short one and your seatpost, it is standard la.

So, better measure your frame.

If wrong, sell the frame, get a new one. Ride bike should be fun and not taxing to you.

Hmmm..
My wife at 5'4" is riding on a XS BH bike. So, probably frame on the big side. I donno.

If you can easily put ur butts to behind the seat, then, I guess it is of right size. If you have problem... then, may e u need to push to saddle nearer.




Anyway, got a good article in Mountain Bike Action Magazine ad would like to share everyone here.
So... short fork doesn't mean better climbing!

short fork means u can position ur weight more forward on the bike when climbing to prevent the front tire from wandering left and right. if ur used to shifting body positions, or is used to climbing while sitting right at the nose of the saddle then ok la.
