Steve P: all LHT steelers are the same length. This means you can get the bars at the same height on a 56 cm as you can on a 64 cm. As you mentioned, the exposed steerer and spacer stack is the difference. With a quill stem, you can get the bars higher on a larger frame, which is one reason why Riv suggests larger frame sizes.
But let's say you're between two LHT sizes. Most people want the bars closer, not farther. If you go slightly smaller on the frame size, you can put on a slightly longer stem if needed. If you have a big frame and a short stem, you can't necessarily go shorter. Again, bar height doesn't vary between frame sizes. Also, the way frames are measured varies between Riv and Surly. A 58 Atlantis is closer to a 56 LHT than it is to a 58 LHT, for example. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
