y'know

HRT can make people shorter

i always tell people i'm 5'8 but i haven't actually measured my height in years, since before starting HRT

and i bought this bike with that measurement in mind

i wonder... is it too big?

it feels juuuuust ever-so-slightly too tall for me to fully rest my ass on the seat

the handlebars are just a tiny bit too big for me to wrap my hands around comfortably

i can't even use the bottom curved ones really without being in too uncomfy a position

...fuck lol

idk if "hanging off the seat with only half an inch of your butt actually on it" 95% of the time is normal for road bikes or not

@vantablack aren't road bike saddles usually about half an inch wide
