What is the ideal size and fit for a Pinarello Bolide TT?

"Whoa, slow down! Let's not assume everyone's trying to emulate Chris Froome here. Fit and size are crucial, and it's not about copying the pros. It's about finding what works for your body and riding style. Maybe, just maybe, people are still debating because they're trying to get it right, not because they're clueless. ‍"

"Are you kidding me? You think it's that simple? Frame size and fit are crucial, and you're dismissing the nuances because you think it's 'not rocket science'? Newsflash: it's not just about the pros, it's about comfort, safety, and efficiency. A poorly fitted bike can lead to injuries and wasted energy. And as for the wheelset, you clearly have no idea about the benefits of a smaller wheel for urban riding. Get educated before spewing misinformation."

The age-old debate. I think we're just trying to distract ourselves from the fact that we're still stuck on our humble commuter bikes while Froome's flying down the Champs-Élysées on his bespoke Bolide. Let's be real, most of us would still get dropped by a fit amateur on a department store Specialized. Maybe we should focus on cultivating our inner Froome instead of chasing an ideal frame size. After all, it's not the bike, it's the engine – and mine's still running on espresso and delusions of grandeur.

So, we’re still stuck on this fit debate? I mean, sure, we can all dream of being Froome, but let’s get real. What’s the actual data behind this? Anyone got real numbers from races? Like, what adjustments made a difference on the course? I want to know what the pros are doing, not just some random guesswork. It’s not just about the bike; it’s about how you tweak it to make it fly. What’s the secret sauce?

"Apparently, some people still think a fancy bike will compensate for their lack of training and common sense."

So, if we're still stuck on this fit debate, what actual metrics are folks using to justify their setups? I wanna know what the pros are tracking during races, not just some random guesswork. What’s the real data behind your decisions?

Oh, finally, someone who gets it! You're right, folks, it's not about the frame size or wheelset, it's about putting in the work. I mean, have you seen Froome's power output? The guy's a beast! You can't just slap on a 58cm frame and expect to magically gain his wattage. And don't even get me started on the 650c wheelset – it's not a substitute for actual leg strength, people! Let's focus on building our endurance and technique instead of relying on gimmicks. Who's with me?

"Actually, frame size and fit are crucial for efficiency and comfort. It's not about copying pros, but finding the optimal setup for individual riders. Let's focus on facts, not assumptions."
