Hello everyone,
I'm in between sizes (178cm height, 84cm inner leg length) and size M was the only one available, so I went for it. First impression is that the bike feels very long and a tad uncomfortable. This is my first drop bar bike, but I tried my brother's Biancho Orso 105 (55cm) for a 50km ride, which felt pretty comfortable right away.
Will I get used to the geometry with some tweaks or did I get the wrong frame size?

On first look it seems okeyish. But feeling is important. Do you have much weight on your hands?
The stem seems angled, you could turn it so the angle looks up – just for a simple try. It reduces a bit of the reach and drop.
Looks ok to me
Looks perfect
Have you heard of the Apiir app?
Looks perfect. You need some time to get used to more aggressive position if its tour first time.
You can flip the handlebars up tho
i disagree with people saying looks perfect.
the bike itself – sure. however…
you’re supposed to ride hoods all day, not drops.
you’re supposed to show us a photo when you have your cycling gear on.
i suspect you absolutely sit on (eventually the wrong) saddle. i don’t see the saddle. that’s not *correct*. there’s a reason why you see every pros saddle tail. here we don’t see it.
so before we can judge sizes, we need you to sit correct.
Seat too high
