Idea of bike fit based on body type

There is plenty to learn here without complicating things. You don't really know the category without getting a fit. Just learn how fit measurements will relate to the bike selection options you get from it. Make sure you know what getting a fit means too as looking for direction ahead of time could mean you don't.

I think it is Competitive Cyclist that has a bike fit calculator, although I would call it an estimator, on their site.  It kicks out some general data after you have input some of your personal measurements.  From that you can look around and get some ideas of what you might be looking at.  What it can't do is see how flexible you are, take precise measurements, etc.  But it is kinda fun to play around with if you have some time on your hands and want to get a very basic idea of the process. 

For reference sake, my fit sheet and the CC website were off a bit.

You want a long and low type of bike.  I too have long torso with shorter legs and my 1st bike was a 2006 Felt S22 and was just that.  Only issue was I cannot use a real low front end due to a neck issue so I had a lot of spacers under my stem to raise up the bars.  2 years ago I built up a another Felt, 2013 B12 frame.  This is a long and tall bike, not much room when I stand over the top tube compared to the S22, but don't have all those spacers under the bar stem..

I think the Cervelo P2 and P3 are long and low types.  I know there has been some shifting on frame designs in recent years since not everyone can get real low on the front end and head tubes have grown on some frame over previous generations.

A fitter should be able to nail down which frame setups would be ideal for you.

I'm a bit longer in the legs, but still need a lower, somewhat longer bike. Some of that seems to be with being able to turn my hips over well. Hence my original response, don't try to guess based on body type. It could bias your thinking ahead of time. Go with what the fit numbers say. Still look into fit & positioning in the meantime, like what can be done to improve or how things should feel, but be careful of things like this that can bias your thinking.

The recent Cervelo's are a bit taller than the older ones. Forget the exact year, but the P3 came up more so than the P2. The P2 may have stayed about the same. They may still be a little on the lower longish side, but it's only relative as a lot of bikes are coming more into the general population average. It's harder to find a more aggressive fitting bike these days.

ETA: Oh, and get yourself healthy again!
