I'm slightly shorter than you, also have long gangly arms and generally ride a frame with at least a 57.5 cm top tube if that helps but if it were me I'd ask for a longer top tube. /quote]
well, with a standard bb height i should be riding about a 58/57.5 seat tube - which means i'd ideally want a 56.5/57 top tube... so i guess what i'm asking is will a 54 really change the feel/ride of the bike?
