don't sell it! you'll get used to it. i have like 3cm overlap with the 25mm rake forks of my gazelle. i got used to it and even have evolved my technique of flipping my foot out the pedal when i have to do a slow turn so i don't fall over.

you get used to it!

what Rodolfo said, go clip less you will get used to it,but you will struggle to find a frame thats 61x54 believe me it took me years to find one that was half decent

Tbh I only need 56-59/60 cm seat tube frames and there aren't extremely rare so I'm in luck there. They will just fit me just as fine.

The reason I bought the frame was of the long seat tube and a shorter seat tube , e.g. 57/58cm would just be as fine.

If you ask me 61cm seat tube is a bit overkill, but I didn't mind it at all.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
