Hi Luca,
I would gladly receive indications of the right size of the new bike I would like to buy.
Bike model: Specialized Tarmac SL8
Height: 172 CM
Crotch height: 85 CM
Arms length: -
Racing or amateur position: --
The correct size of the Specialized Tarmac SL8 road bike is 54, although 52 could also be considered.
Since he now rides on a size 54 racing bike, with geometries similar to the size 54 Tarmac, he might as well stay on the 54 and adapt the new bike to the old sizes in use.
The best, easiest and safest thing to do is always replicate the measurements of the old bike on the new one.
All the Pros do it, I don't understand how it is so difficult to do for a simple racing bike enthusiast.
Great racing bike!
