But if it feels fine, who gives a ****. I'm 5'10" and ride a 52cm c-c frame. So we're in basically the same ballpark as far as frame size to rider size goes, and I'm fine with my bike.
I will get pics up later today or tomorrow.
According to the mechanic at the shop its fine and he's been riding fixed on the street and velodrome for several years but it would be reassuring to get some more feedback from people here.
I really can't stomach the idea of buying a new frame and doing this all over again (especially since I can't sell my frame for as much anymore since I took off the Pake stickers and there are scratches on top tube from locking.)
But if it needs to be done, it needs to be done.. I guess I'll see.....
