I just found the geometry chart: it takes 42s. Perfect. Only, I’d have to buy a 50 cm (c-t??) to get the right top tube for a drop bar. I’ve been measured for (and perfectly fit) a 60 X 56 c-c, so I don’t know how that would work.
I’m curious: those of you in the 70 to 72” range who ride a Roadini with a drop bar: what sizes of Roadini do you ride?
