Quite so.

Of course, I'm aware of the difficulties and the perils, and have explained them all. However, the family members are insistent on presenting him with the completed product...so I am trying to oblige. They want to have one of those startling big unveiling moments.

I figure if I can just get the standover in the ballpark, we'll go for a ride and figure out some of the little things, possibly swapping stems, adjusting saddle fore/aft position, etc.

My LBS that's helping me with the parts and build is aware of those issues, and will work with me on swapping some of those "fine tuning" parts.

Incidentally, I ordered the 58cm. Thanks for the help.
