I am going to pigiback on this thread and ask what stuff are all of you printing? Apart from a few tools and the ocasional headset spacer, I dont really have that many ideas

from the 5 different ways I have tried to measure my sit bones I am 130 to 140mm and the saddle is 145mm at the widest... I think a wider saddle might be in order too...

I would love to have a long reach aero bars.  On my other bike I am using a 220mm stem I found on ebay.  But thats just a beater bike. I will be keeping that stem forever and ever though... lol

I dont know if I want to get a used saddle especially an older model that might be worn out. I was looking at the ryet saddles. Specifically at the ryet aircode as it  is recommended by a few bike fitters. I am feeling pressure on my sit bones and on the soft tissues.  So something with more of a cut out might help. Idk untill I try them.

Problem is there is no correct frame on the market. They dont make one , not even close.  I need a ton more reach. my bike isnt long enough.  when I get to an aero position. my shoulders are over my hands on the drop bars. I need a super custom stem. to drop the stack and increase the reach. or a custom frame. Which is just not an option aka they are super expensive.  My hands are always going to feel pressure because I have a lot of weight in my long torso. my inseam is 28 inchs and I am 6 ft tall.  thats the average inseam for someone who is 5'3. My torso from the iliac crest to c7 is 24 inches.  to put that into perspective. the avg torso  for some who is 6ft. is 19 inchs. I was just looking and 24 inchs avg from L3 to c7... is the same as someone who is way 7 ft tall.... and my arms fit my torso.  So my reach is  like  15cm more than the avg 6ft tall person conservatory. my wing span is 6'5. so maybe a touch shorter. even the longest stems I can find are  too short. I found a 220mm stem for my bike shaped object aka my beater.   BTW this is a 218 build  with the longest reach bars. they come with. It most likely the best sizing for me with every frame I was looking at. I did think about this build  before I pulled the trigger.

Long and low is what I need. There isnt a bike long enough.
