Yes, it is. But my other choice is a Trek 620 that is too large. I recently highlighted the 620 in another thread. I find the Miyata ergonomics comfortable enough the way it is so I am hoping I will be alright. I also have a Trek 400 Elance that does fit me. I have updated it to a nine speed drivetrain and wheelset. But with the shorter chainstays the heels of my size 11 feet catch on the lower edge of the panniers. I should take a look and see if I can move the panniers more to the back.
