I'm the other way. They recommended a 61, I went with a 58, probably shoulda gone with the 61. But I've made it work and I still think I'll rip the fenders I have on it off sometime soon and put fat franks on there and see how much clearance I end up with, then :) I have a 61 rom and it feels like it fits better to me. Khalid, I'm in durham, NC and if you want to try out something around a 58cm atlantis you're welcome to come borrow mine. -sv -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
