As a result, they have the same reach, both size frames will use the same size stem. I would go with the 62 for the longer head tube, but even this doesn't really matter, both frames have the same fork, the difference will be 20mm of spacers, fit is the same.
I'm 6-2, I wanted to use a Thudbuster, I bought a Soma Disc Saga instead (the size they call 60, which has a similar reach and 57.5cm seat tube). If the Disc Trucker had a sloping top tube I would have bought it.
Thats Mr IGN , good to know that . The LHT does indeed seems like a tricky bike fitwise . Going with the longer headtube makes sense especially when my saddle height will be pretty high . Hopefully there will be minimal playing around with stems to get the reach right .
