Pedal to the medal
A quick search reveals you might have 3 bikes from this builder. This one looks like a great sport-tourer. I love the rack mounts brazed into the seat stays. How does it ride?

It rides really nice but the frame size is odd. 56cm st and 53cm toptube. It’s currently for sale but if I keep it I’ll definitely need a longer stem.

It is likely a good rider, but you are correct about the stem. Plantenga used a 110 stem on other builds and the ride worked at that length stem. The one I had needed the longer stem to "feel" right for me. Sorry about your intention to sell this good touring bike. Smiles, MH
