hey guys i have a question for all of you and maybe someone can help me.

i just got a new frame a scott cr1 (55) i used to have a 57, and Ive been having some problems i have the same meassurements according to the mechanic but i feel that i cant transfer power as much as i could on the other frame, is it a matter of getting used to it or is there something possibly wrong with the fit (saddle position or angle maybe) let me know what you guys think

Get a proper fit ... look for a FIST certified bike fitter.

The FIST fit is for tri bikes and aero positions, this here is a road bike, so the FIST wouldn't do much good

CDtri where did you buy this frame???

The guys at Bicimania have special measurement equipment in order to recommned you the apropiate frame size and most importantly give you proper fitting. Don´t know how good it is compared to a shop in the usa but...they are realy good.

I bought it in bicimiania I know i got measured there and im good friends with the guys there, I had a speedster s10 before in xl but i like my frame to be a little small so i went with a L, but i went to the shop yesterday and made some small adjustments and it feels a lot better so I´ll see how it goes,
