Hi Lester, i think you are right that they seem to be recommending tha smaller frame if you are are within 2 sizes. Thanks for the feedback :-) > On 23 Jun 2018, at 5:02 AM, Lester Lammers wrote: > > As long as you are OK with the stand over I'd say go for the 50cm. Riv seems > to going a bit

Hi Staci, Thanks a lot. I really appreciate your feedback. Its really hard buying a frame by just looking at the geometry. :-) > On 22 Jun 2018, at 11:16 PM, Stasi Chase wrote: > > I am 5'4" with a 78.5pbh, so a little shorter than you. When I recently > tested out a 50 Atlantis (this week).

Nitto tests bars and stems together and wants the bars to break before the stem. The bars are already strong, and they've found that even 51s (we had samples made). The workaround might be to make stronger stems, but then you get into a whole escalating mish-mash where one chases the other, and

I have an "other". It's a 58cm custom Gunnar singlespeed, that the original owner spec'd to copy the geometry of a Hillborne. Let me know if you want to talk about it. Here is a flickr album with lots of photos of my original build. https://www.flickr.com/photos/45758191@N04/albums/721576427
