Problem for you is that the next common size is 3,000mm, and they're not as common, and cost almost double.
I don't think my frame is that big? It's just a 58cm frame, a Specialized Allez Comp Apex. That's strange and ridiculous when an individual gear cable won't fit it's RD! Cable housing loops being too long?
