Tell me your inseam and I can tell you how likely the F400 large is to fit you. I own 4 cannondales and am pretty familiar with their sizing.

IMO it is too big for you. GO to a local cannie dealer and try out the large and medium first. I think you will like the medium fit much more.

In surfing, it is very common to own multiple sticks in your "quiver," however there is usually a practical application. Varying waves sizes and shapes dictate the type of board that should be used. Small, rolling waves are classic for longboarding, terribly for short. Larger, critical waves call for a shortboard (and even within the shortboard family, you can have a board with more or less rocker, multiple skags, fish shaped, etc) Medium size waves can be ridden by long, short, or what are called "fun boards." Is there a similar phenomenon in cycling? Are your bikes made for different rides and terrain? When watching bits of the Tour, I guess I never bothered to see whether they were changing their bikes between climbing and flat stages. Time trial bikes are different, no? Or at least the wheels?

That's probabyl a small or a medium. But that isn't how they size frmaes so it sounds odd to me.

In the Tour de France they will use different bikes for time trial, and for climbing stages and for the rest. they might also change out s\certain components depending on the days course. Hyrum rides a recumbent, which is sort of like driving a Volvo in Berkeley while eating granola. In the tour

My question was more geared to bikes in the same species, a la all road bikes. And you answered. I had no idea there were so many varieties. A triple bike? Is that even enjoyable? I guess it could be fun. I triple stroller is not fun.
