new size, 53cm to 57cm suct.. so they made a 55, i dont know crap about the geo. All i was told is that its the same exact bike, just a diff. size.
Ive had the 53 on order(for months..) and then my lbs(mission hills bike) said they had a 55cm comming out for 2009, that was shipping along with my 53.. well i rode the 53 and it was a lil too small, so i figured stem + saddle adjust = fine but then I thought 55cm, being 6 foot nothing with a 30in inseam. So lbs said i get my pick, i think the 55 is gonna be the winner. I am totally stoked they fixed the size gap. anyway im drunk and thats my story.

You have a pretty short inseam.
I never knew why they skipped over the 55cm though.
I've been thinking about a KHS Flite 100 for a while. Let us know how you like it when you get it.

got the 08, and the cranks were **** on that.. same with the pedals/clips, the lockring was a joke... the wheels and tires..
wish i would have spent the money on a better frame and built it up, since i ended up buying a lot of new components anyways
