Rascale, do you have any standover room? I keep hearing that these bikes are supposed to be a little large; I think that goes for the top tube though. As long as I have a little standover, I don't mind if the top tube seems long. I'll just swap the stem for a shorter one.
I have some standover room...not loads. Definitely feels better if I use it with a BMX stem rather than the stock one.
As a comparison, my day to day ride is a Fort track 7500 which is Seat-tube 53cm centre-to-centre and 56cm centre-to-top, top-tube is 54cm centre-to-centre. Has a 1" head tube and takes a 27.2mm seat post.
This fits me pretty much spot on.
The Charge medium is sized on the website as top tube 54.5 and seat tube 59....
I think its the seat tube that makes the big difference for me.
