Hello everyone!
My first two rides on the Aeroad are over. It feels incredibly fast and beautiful.
Is there anything wrong with the position? I feel comfortable on the bike but maybe someone will notice something negative right away.
The Bike is S – height 177cm and 83cm 🦵.
I would be very grateful for any advice and hope it is recognizable in the poor Screenshots from a Video. 😁 Somehow I can't upload a video here

It appears you are looking for bike fitting help. Please make sure you post as screenshot of the Canyon size chart for your bike, with your point in it. See [this example](https://imgur.com/a/ALUfXyy)

Your saddle looks pretty far back. Is it comfortable? You might want to move it forward to sit on the wider part.
What is your saddle height in cm
How’s the weight distribution on your hands? Are the hoods high enough to distribute the weight evenly?
Mathiew?
i’m similar size, try with the saddle angle 0 degrees using your phone as a level and a cutting board over the seat, slide the seat forward so that it’s about 5mm from the furthest point limit, try a saddle height of 915mm from spindle to top of the seat inline with the seat tube.
175cm tall, 83cm inseam
I’m on 165mm cranks, and currently using a 910mm seat to spindle.
Sick bike!
Ideally you should get a bike fit before purchasing, the jigs can simulate bikes and sizes of bikes across many brands, and the fitter can determine what’s best for you.
That being said. I would still recc going to a fitter, advice given to you here is just a guess at best.
See if your work benefits cover a bike fit too, I’m in Canada and I got 80% of the cost covered.
No fitting advice, but the bike looks great and I love the wide smile 😀 Enjoy, brother.
Assuming your arms are similar length to your legs, relative to your height, you might want to look into a longer stem, but also lowering the stem could work. I was in a similar position on the size chart to you, but between M/L, and went with L. However, my arms are *very* long (+10cm wingspan over my height), influencing that. Both sizes could work for me, it’s a matter of what compromise you want to make. S is probably the right call for you, but look into getting the handlebars further away from you via lowering or lengthening.
Looking good in my opinion! Bike is sick btw! Gamechanger also! 👍🏻
If you feel comfortable on 3+ hours rides, no attention needed
Hard to say, but isn’t this frame too small for you? I’m 176cm, inseam 85 and I’m comfortable with a 56 cm endurance frame (Domane).
I’m 171 and 80. I initially got an ultimate in an XS and ending up sizing up because my knees were hitting the bars on the steep uphills. Just my 2 cents
Are you MVDP!?!? Hi Matt! Great to see your sponsors are keeping you outfitted! Still working on that 600FTP?
Nice fit
You seem quite pleased!
Happy chap!!
We have much the same dimensions and im on the S as well.
Based on the 1st pic your seat height might be a smidge high, may be pic but your heel looks high in the 6oclock position. Reach looks fine.
Wicked drip
