Yes, and yes. I usually ride a 61 or larger but the bikes geo. gets all screwed up because my torso is not nearly as long as my legs. So lately I've been buying bikes that are a size to small so I don't have to run stems that are 50 or 60mm. The seat is also a little to high in the pic, i just had gotten everything built when i took the photo, its about 1 inch lower now. Even with the shorter top tube of the 58 vs 61 I still need a shorter stem then the "stock" 120mm Deda on the bike, need a 100mm from the measurement i did, thinking of going with a zipp stem, maybe some matching zipp bars too. Not sure on that yet. I'm going to wait to buy anything else for it until i have a chance to do a 20 or 30 mile ride.
