I wonder if any of you have had a custom frame that you rode for years and more
recently have found that the top tube has become too long for you? I would
guess this happens more noticeably to the short-torsoed among us, since as we
age our spines compress and those with shorter torsos feel the difference in
the reach to the handlebars sooner than everyone else.
But I'm beginning to suspect that this may be happening to me with a
12-year-old custom frame that is no longer comfortable with drops on it (even
with the shortest Nitto Techie I can find). My suspicion may have been
confirmed at the doctor's office this week when I discovered that I was not
only no longer 5' 7", I apparently haven't been for some time.
For someone who is, in her family of origin, very, very short (my sister and
all my cousins topped out at 6' or more), it was a crushing blow, for at least
ten minutes.
Seriously, has this happened to anyone else? Is it possible to "outgrow" (or
outshrink?) a custom frame? --B
