[RBW] Re: WTT: 54cm Quickbeam for 56cm Quickbeam/Simple One
Post is actually Rich's! I am bit taller than him so showing around 2-3cm more seatpost. But I am using a similar bar set up, nitto albatross on a 12cm technomic stem.

Good thinking, Joe. The saddle height seems reasonable and the bike doesn't look too small. It would be fair to suggest that a 56cm would work too though. Maybe try it with Noodles instead of upright bars?

Other options would be try an Albastache or drops or a longer stem (can’t tell what you have on there, if you could go longer).

Good idea! Maybe try out Jitensha bars on the build.
