As we know, the bead seat diameter of the rims is 622mm. On my screen it's about 622mm from the bottom bracket to the bottom of the saddle. The top tube is even shorter. That frame is small. I think the top tube slopes because the replacement fork is shorter than the original.

Actually, you shouldn't just push through the pain. It shouldn't hurt to ride 20 miles unless you're just in very bad shape. Otherwise, you should adjust your fit, with professional help if needed. Your legs are telling you that something is the wrong size or in the wrong place between your bum and your pedals.
DO YOU EVEN LIFT BRO? NO PAIN, NO GAIN!I can do a 20 mile ride @ 20mph pace w/ no problems or discomfort at all. What I'm talking about is when you push yourself to go hard... Last weekend I did 36 miles at a very fast pace on the new 60T(100 gear inches) setup and my legs were burning bad going into headwind at mile 30, it's a good pain tho, once the endorphins kick in it allows you to push past the discomfort. You should know this. My neighbor owns a shop and is a bike mechanic(he also gives me **** for the bling), but the fit is fine he says. I do agree tho, proper bike fitment is a equally important as proper form when lifting.

Unfortunately I can't post links, but it has been proven that endorphins are too large to pass through the blood brain barrier. google runner's high ny times to see the articles.

Yes, Running Can Make You High - The New York Times
" Researchers could detect endorphins in people’s blood after a run, but those endorphins were part of the body’s stress response and could not travel from the blood to the brain. They were not responsible for elevating one’s mood. So for more than 30 years, the runner’s high remained an unproved hypothesis.
But now medical technology has caught up with exercise lore. Researchers in Germany, using advances in neuroscience, report in the current issue of the journal Cerebral Cortex that the folk belief is true: Running does elicit a flood of endorphins in the brain. The endorphins are associated with mood changes, and the more endorphins a runner’s body pumps out, the greater the effect."
"The data showed that, indeed, endorphins were produced during running and were attaching themselves to areas of the brain associated with emotions, in particular the limbic and prefrontal areas."

As long it's just lactic acid in your muscles, and not actual joint pain, keep on cycling.

It's not that it is ugly, it is just that there is far too much "gold" and it makes it look kind of cheap. That isn't the intention I am sure, but that is the result.
