Hi, I'm not sure exactly what information you are looking for. The 55 cm Rom is pretty much like a 56 cm Rambouillet in fit, published geometry is at http://www.sheldonbrown.com/harris/romulus/pages/17-downtubedecal.html I'm about 5' 7" with I think about 82 cm PBH, so as far as top tube clearance and seat tube length the fit is fine, not a lot of standover but it's not a problem. I started out with a 9 cm stem, and that's not really too stretched out but I had a back injury and some neck pain from looking up at the road and wanted a more upright position and so I switched to a shorter stem with more rise. If I were getting a custom bicycle for drop bars I think I would want a slightly shorter top tube, and that's less a matter of my physical dimensions and more a matter of my flexibility and somewhat head-forward posture. The Rom has toe clip overlap, and if the top tube were further shortened without changes elsewhere, the existing toe overlap would worsten. Hope that helps, Michael --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
