It doesn't matter if they run big because there are geometry charts that list the exact measurements. Those measurements are accurate. We postulate that yours are not.

[/TABLE]
I sent an inquiry about further info on the measurements and what they might suggest, and they said that my measurements are coming out a little long for my height and inseam but they would suggest a frame with an effective top tube of 54cm. The 50cm kilo says the level top tube measurement is 52.3cm and the 53cm is 54.8cm. any suggestions? Dont mean to be to much of a newbie but guess itd be beter than buying the wrong size hah
Thanks!

Good question!?
The bike frame is lugged Double Butted CrMo with really nice Sugino components... must be the dragon that scares them?

Another thought if you are planning all the mods you listed ...
Start with a bike that has the threaded stem, wheels, etc
SE Racing Premium Brew $399.95
Lugged CrMo Frame and Fork, Sugino Crank
