I felt too stretched-out on my old bike, which was a 58cm ST (I forget the TT), no matter what I did with the stem. I got a deal on this smaller frame, so I thought I'd try it and see how it felt.
It feels comfy and fast so I'm still happy about 1200 miles later.
I actually can't quite get my flat feet on the ground while in the saddle, but I can get my tiptoes down if I want. I think that's typical with the lower bottom bracket heights of the early 70s, isn't it?
