Frame Geometry
Designed for riders who are 5’6″ to 6’3″
Learn what size is right for you here.
Riding a frame on the “bigger” end will make the bike feel more controlled and flowy.
Riding a frame on the “smaller” end will make the bike feel more snappy and responsive.
This is a short chain stay.
A short chain stay will make the bike feel quick and responsive. It will make spins easier, and manuals harder to control.
Steep head tube angles make the bike “snappy” meaning more responsive to fast turns.
A less steep head tube gives you more control.
The seat tube angle can adjust how the top tube feels by making it more or less steep. Most are this angle, it doesn’t change very often.
The bottom bracket height adjusts how low or high your feet are off the ground. Most completes will be this height.
This is a short standover.
A short stand over makes whips easier to kick and get around, but make bars harder since the seat is low and hard to pinch.
2021 Fit STR (LG) Freecoaster Price
The Freecoaster version of the Fit STR is a little more expensive. It costs $489, which is a lot for a bike without a full chromoly frame. At first, I thought that the price jump was from the addition of the freecoaster. But this version also adds a double wall rim to the back wheel. This is going to save you a lot of headache.
