>>1073363It depends. I'm 5'6, usually ride a 52cm. But on some bikes, i'll drop down to 50, or even 49 cm. there's some companies (surly, all-city, pinarello) that just measure shit all weird. But litespeed isnt really one of them
that said, i cant imagine a bike thatd fit someone 5'8 on a 48cm and wouldnt be an abysmal fit. sure you can get a longer stem but that's not fixing the problem entirely, you're fucking with handling at that point. and unless you got tiny legs, like, 28 inch inseam, that saddle is gonna be high as fuck.
you got the wrong size bike my dude
>btw all pro bikes are usuallylower than uci limit so they add weightsThis is also true. Fishing lures down the seattube is the common one, or weights to the bottom bracket, since it makes the weight lower. ive also heard of intentionally using lower level components, like an ultegra casette on a dura-ace bike because of weight
