Now I'm thinking I wanna go for the 50. I'm really torn up about this. I have a 50c gunnar cross bike, that has an effective 54 top tube, and I have a really short stem on it. I know I'll be fine with clearance on the 53 iro, but I'd probably have to have a really short stem, which I'd rather avoid- for handling purposes. My old trek conversion is a 21" with a 54 tt as well, but I have a more "normal" sized stem on it, and it feels fine. Why does every bike hafta fit different?!
and zippered, have you been asleep? BF limited edition IRO's!
