Hi guys,

I'm an odd shaped fellow with really short legs and a long torso. That means I'm riding smaller frames for their lower stand over height. I've dealt with my "condition" (lol) by using longish stems and bullhorns but I'd like to explore a new frame of the longer variety anyway.

I'm looking to keep the $$$ around $432.76 for a frame.

Any suggestions?

Thanks guys!



edit: likely to build up frame with riser bars opposed to bulls.

Leader.

That's a very exact estimate. Also, +1 to Leader.

Vilanos were reputed to have a very long top tube.

i have the exact same body proportion issue and leader solved my problems, my size 58 722 fits me like a glove but a 56 square frame would have a slammed seatpost and id need a giant stem (so euro)

QFT

Longest TT hands down. Another flip side is, no toe overlap whatsoever.

Awesome guys, thanks for the advice. Anybody have the 722 or 725 geo chart? Id prefer to stick with a steel frame, but fit comes first. Whats the max width with a front brake on either of these bikes?

front clearance depends on the fork/brake combo you put on it

722

725
