My Motobecane messenger has the same amount of headtube as that one, and is indeed a 54.

Its a good ride too. Get new tires, those kendas blow. (lit and fig.)

which is odd, as my moto's fork has less room for a fender than a kilos. also, no eyelets.... but it is a bit more relaxed, road friendly geo than the kilo, which i like.

im a fan of mutant stems until i die. it satisfies the aesthetic and functional aspects. just the right amount of rise and length. I could get a black one but all black bikes are easy to make.
