Yeh, cheers.
It was a mate that pointed it out to me and like an earworm, it's been stuck in my head ever since.
I wouldn't say I've ever really had issues doing long distance on it.
I'm 183cm on the dot, longish back, hence the long stem. I usually run a long stem on all my bikes. I feel alright on it, but I think a bit more stretch would be better, but not the end of the world.

I think up to a point it’s really just personal preference. I’m 180cm and my 3 off the peg bikes are all 56. My 2 customs are actually a but shorter front to back as my height is in my legs but my torso is a bit hunched. I use a 110mm stem.
I think the trainers and baggy shirt don’t help the photo but to me it’s def not bmx territory. I’d say you’re probably 56 or 58 but the 56 just looks a bit more pro…
To me it looks about right. I prefer my bikes to be smaller rather than larger. If yours is too small then so are my five bikes; but I wouldn’t care as I can ride them as long as I like and they perform exactly as I like.
130 is on the long side but if that’s what you need then so be it.
How tall are you?
How does it feel? Can you ride it for 8 hours without discomfort? Do you feel cramped up or stretched out?
