[RBW] Re: In search of trade: Long shot, at that - 56cm Hillborne for something that fits me better

This is actually on the chopping block. WInter's coming, I will commute on 
my fat bike, unless I sell it and use the Riv w fatty tires. Reply 
privately if you are interseted.

There was a funny thing in one of the Readers where they installed a stem 
backwards and reported that the bike handled fine.

Standover is certainly 'right there' but find for riding around town and 
errands, I do not mind. Reach is more of an issue, but with the pullback 
bars, not at all. I do not want to put a short stem on a bike, I've learned 
to hate the way it handles.

Changing the stem won't make the frame any smaller, so if standover height is 
the issue, not much you can do about that, but based on the green bike in the 
picture and what you've said I would say that a shorter Technomic stem (80mm) 
might help a little. And raising it up some will help you feel less stretched 
out.

[dstein]

what the hell is going on with that bike in the background with all the 
gears? are those welded onto the frame? looks like someone's art project or 
discarded prop from mad max.

Close, but knowing what my perfect bike frame is, with a 100 or 110mm stem 
is, the Bleriot would have me too stretched out as well.

Igor, Igor, Igor ... you should have just snapped up my Belriot when you 
had the chance.

['Stephen Kemp' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Not into get into a sizing discussion in this here thread, but yes, using 
stem sizing to change up reach is a great idea depending on the needs/uses.

Sorry, couldn't resist! ;-)

Why not get a shorter stem?
