  • In my opinion this will probably decrease the joy of riding a bike, since biking will be harder work and may lead to aches which could be avoided with a fitting bike. Depends on how hunched you are on the small bike.

    Decathlon is good with returns. Have you talked to them?

    A size M could be perfectly fine for you. Is the bike actually too small for you? Have you had a bike fitter (or somebody else who knows about bikes and fit) take a look? The bike comes with a relatively short stem. You could easily replace it with a 3cm longer one. The seatpost can also be raised a lot.

  • Sorry.... The seller recommended a large but then sold you a medium??? Am I missing something? OT, you can make a smaller bike appear larger as others mentioned, but a bigger bike is hard to go the other way.
