I've got a canit-Rom in 59 and a Sam Hillborne in 56, and used to own a 52 Bombadil. The Rom and Bomba fit well at those sizes (Rom w. mustache bars, Bomba with bullmoose) and the Sam feels a bit too big (with bullmoose). Still trying to figure out how to make the Sam not feel like an oversized tank... don't think it's the bars on that one - probably the heavyish tires/wheels and I probably should have gone a size down, even though I have some standover clearance with the 56.
I've also got pretty short arms/legs for my torso - that's probably why i haven't loved drops - e.g. to use them I'm stretched out over the bike too much. Thanks for all the advice and feedback from everyone - I think I'm leaning towards the Nitto Rando bar for the SimpleOne - e.g. splayed-out drops with a tighter bend so the drops are closer. Maybe with a dirt-drop stem... thanks, andrew On May 5, 2011, at 3:35 AM, Bruce Baker wrote: > Just curious what's the frame size of your Rom and Hillborne?
