Oh, a big difference cuz I think my 54.2 frame correlates to the 55 Rosco/Platys is they use 700c, I have 650b. That's the thing I'd change if I was designing my bike now, I think those big hoops on the Platy look amazing and I kinda wish I had them. Although it would make it even longer and my bike is already HUGE!
