Hi everyone

I am 182cm with an inseam of 93 (yes daddy long legs!)
I have relatively long arms and feet aswell.
I am riding a size 56 Pinarello F12 at the moment. I run the MoST 130mm stem with 38cm bars.
My seat height is maxxed out at 82.5cm (that is the minimum insertion line maximum has been reached) on a 0 offset post.
I would like to go up another 5mm or so but thats untenable given the current seat situation.
I cant go up a frame size as the stack becomes too high. The new F also has a lower seat post length meaning its unlikely the newer model can go higher
A 58 on most brands is just too big a bike for me on the front end

Does anyone know the maximum seat height I can achieve on a SWORKS SL7 or BMC SLR01 in a size 56?
Going off online measurements from the sites I doubt I could get either bike to get to 83cm.
Any help would be appreciated

I ride a 56cm Tarmac Sl7 with a seatpost height of 825mm. Even at that height I can go up 3-4cm before reaching the max saddle height.

I trust you have long arms and or a very short neck lol.

Just email specailzied/BMC they will give you an exact figure. I've emailed BMC in the past with your exact question, they were very helpful.

some bikes have different seatpost lengths depending on frame size too.. Although usually only the smallest 2 frames get a short seatpost.
