Hi all, I just got a new bike, it feels great, but I”m having doubts about the frame size I bought, I’m 160 cm, the seat and handlebar are almost parallel, seat a few millimeters higher. Will this be comfortable on long rides? Have I picked the wrong frame size?
What frame size do other 160 cms females on reddit pick??
I will mainly use it for commuting, shopping with the one off beach ride every now and then.
I would attach a photo but this community doesn’t allow it, the bike is a Merida Speeder 10

That looks good – as long as it’s comfortable. If you’d like the handlebars higher it’s not much trouble to flip the stem so it has a bit more rise (or swap it for a stem with more rise (or swap handlebars with more rise)).Â
Remember, if you go to a larger frame size it’ll also push the bars further forward (which may not be as comfortable).
