If I don't get a good price, this will be what I do. Thing is, stem is already quite short. These are big sturdy frames, and I could easliy ride a 54, in fact I did borrow one from BC, all it needed was a longer stem and bigger spacer stack. I went for a 56 so I could use the cockpit from my old bike, but this now seems to have been a false economy.
The build weighs 13.4 kilos, which is more than I was expecting. It is partly down to the heavy 8 speed mtb drive, but a smaller frame would just make it easier to lug up hills. Stiffer too.
