talking with chris at circle a about the frame i'm having built we've come up with a size that's a bit smaller than i would have expected. right now i'm riding a 55cm/55m road frame conversion with an 81cm standover. I'm 5'10" or so. the new frame geometry is 51.5cm seat tube with a higher BB that he says is roughly equal to a 53cm road frame, 53.5cm top tube, and 79.5cm standover. so yeah, i guess we're going with the smaller is better school of thought. still seems a bit small. what do ya'll think. i've never worked with a high BB and track geometry.
