If you've used a dropped stem and the frame is higher than the bars?
The reverse, you only have a stem in the air, not more frame. If it's in the air at all.
Anyway, the frame is here so it's irrelevant. I'll be riding a 55.5 Tripster AT soon.

Like I said with a head tube angle and stem angle that sum to 90° the stem would be perfectly parallel with the ground. So frame would still be lower than the bars when accounting for the steerer.
But anyway, nice frame, I'm jealous. Wish I could afford one myself. Are you not still looking for a second frame then?

If your stack (at the bars) and BB drop is the same between the two frames then theoretically the frontal height is exactly the same. As long as the sum of the stem angle + headtube angle isn't greater than 90°.
Not that that makes it a good idea necessarily
