• like i said, the bike was small for me. so the over reaching, awkward length is pretty odd right? imagine someone with shorter arms riding it. If i'm 193cm riding this 54, how do you imagine a person that is 175cm is going to feel on it?

    to bad you aren't around to help me fit a bike though man. over reaching as a sign of the bike not fitting? never would have guessed.

    The Capo has a top tube length of 54.5cm by the look of it, so I would imagine that a 175cm person is going to feel pretty good on it actually.

    I can only guess that your arms/torso are a bit (read, a massive amount) short for your height if you were over stretched on a 54.5cm top tube. So the only bike that would fit someone with such extreme proportions would be a custom made one.

    Interesting that you say you ride a 61cm Steamroller, that must have a 60cm top tube length. Over reaching is not the word if you have trouble on a 54.5cm. Have you fitted chopper bars to it?
