Bill yes, I had it flipped. The 54cm frame moves the BB towards the front vs the 52cm frame. Thanks, I'm going with a 60cm estimated FC John Hawrylak Woodstown NJ

The smaller one, the 52, has a steeper 72.5 STA Maybe that's why you have it flipped? On Friday, August 4, 2017 at 2:31:06 PM UTC-7, John Hawrylak wrote: Bill I agree with your methodology. I'm a little confused on the 5mm "adjustment" for the STA difference (72 on 52 and 72,5 on the 54). If the 52cm/72deg TSA shifts it's FC forward, wouldn't the 5mm be ADDED to the 52 FC to get the 54 FC, i.e 54cm FC = 59.0 + 1.5 (TTL delta) + 0.5 (STA delta) = 61.0cm for 54cm frame FC???? Either way, 60 to 61 is adequate since my current bike has 60.7cm FC and about 5mm clearance to the P45 fenders John Hawrylak Woodstown NJ On Friday, August 4, 2017 at 2:35:17 PM UTC-4, Bill Lindsay wrote: In the absence of a measurement, you could do a rough estimate. Assume we believe that the 52cm 650B Hilsen has a 59cm front center. That's in the geo-chart Let's mutually grumble that there is no front center for the 54 or the 56. Grumble... But the 54 has the identical fork and the identical head tube angle. It also has the same BB drop. The 54 has a 1.5cm longer effective top tube, that adds 1.5cm to front center The 54 has a 72 degree seat tube angle instead of a 72.5. that shifts the BB forward by about 5mm, subtracting 5mm off of front center. >From that I would estimate the 54cm 650B Hilsen to have a front center of 60cm.

The RBW specs do not provide FC. Looking for a value of => 59.5cm to avoid TCO.
