I feel better. Less lonely. I must admit I'm surprised at the number of TALL guys who like 559. Of course it's a good solution for folks like me. I'm 5' 7" (in danger of becoming 5' 6" as I age! Yikes!) with long limbs and a short torso, and generally require a square frame to ride 700c wheels. Two years ago I came into an All-Rounder frame that technically should be "too small" for me, but actually fits fine because the top tube is PERFECT. But really tall guys who can easily fit a 700c touring frame expressing affection for their 559 bikes, well that says something.
Thanks, fellas. --Beth p.s. Yes, I'm aware that the LHT now works with 26" in every size. But the 1 1/8" threadless headset is a non-starter for a bike that I wish I could I build as a poor gal's Atlantis. So I will wait and see what The New Atlantis (I assume there will be one, right? When the Japanese- made Atlanti run out? Right?) looks like.
