^ The top tube is on the long side, but it actually kind of fits me as I have actually long, gangily monkey arms compared to the rest of my body.... I put that stem on, which is an 80mm and it seems to feel really good. The bike came stock with a low 15mm stem that was just way too long.- not to mention the fact that it didn't have a faceplate so it wouldn't work getting a road bar on there anyway.
I used the 26" wheels all the time, obviously, up to this point... but I wanted to see if going bigger would make it race better. -Which it did; and they help to make the bike fit me better, as the frame is on the small side for my height (except the top tube length) (although they say to have a slightly smaller frame in cyclocross racing, I suppose) I may consider going back to smaller wheels if I keep having to ride in very muddy courses just to make it ride-able.
Thanks
