58cm with 56cm TT.....
 

Anything stock out there like this? Or is custom the solution. I had a professional serotta fit yesterday and with my long arms, short torso and very long legs (5'9 35 inch inseam), I am a prime candidate for custom. Can't afford Serotta custom though. Any ideas?


Thanks.

Gunnar does custom geometry for a decent price.

Just get a bike with 56TT and flip the stem upwards.

check out the LOOK 585 Optimum it's close, 57cm seattube and 56 effective toptube. it does have a tall 19cm headtube, which is great if you don't want a low aero position or stack of spacers.

Gios Compact Pro

58cm c-t-t seat tube
55.5cm c-t-c top tube

This too.

Bianchi makes several 57's with 56 TT's (I own two). A traditional top tube (non-compact) would work even better. Maybe search for a lightly used San Lorenzo?

For those of us on a budget: Scattante CFR (from performance)

p.s. Let us know what you end up getting!!

That 58 comes in a 57 TT, but with the right stem...

Yeah I was looking at that. I was also looking at the pedal force QS2, which also comes with 57TT on the 58CM. With a 100 mm stem, that would put me right where my fit suggested, a 67cm reach.

With the 19.5 cm headtube the QS2 has, I can also reduce some drop. I did a search for QS2 frames and lots of people on here seem to be happy with them.

We have the same body type...mine is slightly worse at 6 feet and 36 inch inseam....current bike from 1986 has 62.5 cm ST and 56.5 cm TT....it is old and I am hoping to find something reasonably priced that duplicates this geometry, but it's tough....the compact frame style helps some...seriously let me know what you end up with....certainly serotta makes a nice bike but the cost is prohibitive for most of us.
