Very interesting: extra long tts on the Riv mixtes. The Nishiki Custom Sport
I hope soon to build up as a beater fixed errand hauler has a rather short
tt compared to its 56 cm tt: it is only 54. I'm going to get around that by
installing a Technomic 10 cm stem, 2 cm longer than the 8 cms I use on my
57-but-with-upslope tt Rivs.
