The frame is 64x58 with 74 degree headtube, with a Nitto Technomic stem all the way up. I'm 6 foot exactly. I used this frame for light touring but the geometry isn't ideal for that (neither is the tyre clearance).
I think my ideal comfortable road frame would be 62x56 with sloping geometry to raise the headtube by about 5cm. Shorter toptube and 73 degree headtube combined with a 90cm stem to slow down the handling a bit.
I have an F.W. Evans touring frame which is 64x57 with 73 degree angles which will hopefully be more suitable than the Gazelle above. If not, then I'll have to go custom.
