yeah that's what i thought initially, but alot of people currently touring have told me otherwise. I had a look at the fuji touring in Seoul, sat on it and it felt ok. didn't cycle it though. my friend is doing OZ right now and he is the same height as me, and he reckons that that size is suitable for touring. something about the upright position. i'm only going by what people are telling me.
so you reckon 54 is a no go?
i just got off the phone to a store in Taiwan. good news they are selling the surly lht frame and fork for 10,000 NT/TWD. that's about a third of the price here in Korea, about $285 compared to $750 in Korea.
