Thanks for the encouragement...I work a swing shift and this week i've

I'd like to sell the bike complete, sans racks & saddle.

SKS fenders
Nitto Technomic Deluxe stem (10cm)
Nitto Noodle handelbars (44cm)
Silver bar end shifters

That would give circumference, which is probably what the device wants. If you
need diameter, divide by π. Or just measure the length of a straight line from

My only concern is sizing.
Is a 56cm too large or should I drop down a size. PBH is 54.
