"Steamrollers are solid. From the way you describe it the fit sounds okay. You can always swap to a shorter stem if needs be and you are too stretched out. The crucial question regarding the size which you haven't covered, how much room is left between crotch and toptube when your stood astride the top tube?"
The guy from evans (i will dub him.... bob.) so bob said that im not actually stretched out so the stem is a good fit, when i took it for a ride i did actually feel quite upright. and that I could even put up the seat a bit (it was set quite low)
In terms of how much room is left between my crotch and the top tube, not alot at all... enough that im standing flat on my feet, but the crotch of my jeans were definitely touching the top tube..
sorry i cant be more scientific or precise about this. but thanks for the help.
