Right so I've saved the money now, about to make the purchase...thinking M (56) Canyon with a 130mm aerobar.

Can anyone else please help quickly just so I don't mess up on the size?

Cycling inseam of 87cm, overall height of 183cm, long torso short legs. I feel like I could get a bit more saddle to bar drop to be honest but not much. The fit calculator is trying to put me on a L but I feel like I might not have enough standover height and/or seatpost showing.

Current saddle height from centre of BB is 78cm.

Can anyone much better at this please help?

I ordered my Aeroad with the 410/120mm aerobar, instead of the stock 410/100. Guess what, they shipped me the bike with the stock 410/100mm bar. I've been waiting to receive the correct bar for nearly 2 months now. So if you are getting your bike or frameset with the H11 aero cockpit, you have been warned.

Do they make the aerobar in 130mm?

I think you will be quite big on the M. If you can get low (-17 stem or swap out the 16mm headset cap for the 4.5mm) and have a long stem then probably ok.

In summary unless you are very flexible (can get low comfortably at the front) I think you would be better with an L

Hey.

This is what a slammed Aeroad with 130mm stem and 79cm saddle height looks like... Kristoff bike. It gives him 14 cm of drop and 62cm reach tip saddle - center of bars.

Would the 32mm offset seat post help the Medium fit?

No. If you need longer reach, you use a longer stem or get a larger frame.
