Hi Sky and thanks... Except for the strong rider part, I may very well resemble your friend! I laugh even as I type it, but, yeah, I should probably at least go see(!) a doctor to get their opinion. I have been so lucky most of my life (and am now 64, so a good run...) that I always believe either self healing or ignoring the problem is the answer. Worked before, why not now?
Let me know if you want any measurements from my frame or set-up. I also have a few Nitto stems (including a dirt drop) and bars I could put on to measure things. I probably would not make it rideable (changing cabling, etc.) but the measurements could be done. I might do it just to compare reality with perception. I will say, I had given a little too much weight to reports of long, long top tubes or so it feels at the moment. Or... maybe some experiments will prove that out. I was thinking about your idea... One thing is, if you want bars lower than saddle height, then the smaller frame will definitely help with that. Also, and people are welcome to laugh at and correct as needed, and I will probably misuse terms, but the effective top tube or reach should increase with more seat post showing. People always remind that a higher stem height reduces reach so it seems to me a higher seat post should increase that reach. Maybe negligible, but still... Anyway, let me know if you want me to measure stuff. When do you get your frame?? Bob On Sunday, April 16, 2017 at 4:26:04 PM UTC-5, Sky Coulter wrote: > > Bob, > > It looks great!
