Back in late 1994, AR sizing was based on that of the XO bikes; ie my size (old fistful size 60 cm c-c) was a 54, because Grant designed my first 26” wheel road custom around the AR and he made my custom a 54 c-c. IIRC, the first ARs topped out like the XOs at 59 c-c. I guess the design evolved, as it should have — I needed custom Salsa stems to get my drop bar high enough.
