Yes , Top Tube Length is Very Important from my perspective ! Besides the
height of the head tube, TT is near the top of my list for importance ,
along with chainstay length and front-center. The length of the TT affects
how one is centered in the bicycle. A short or long stem in an attempt
The only thing I'd fault the shop on is cutting the steerer tube before

This! I'm sorry but the only way to explain this (pre-fitting) is stupid, lazy

You will find they need to be tightened on occasion. If you need to adjust the

once you get the hang of it, it's great to know you can do it yourself.

Agree with the alcohol. And also agree with being careful around the
paint. Its possible paint could take a gentle rubbing with alcohol if need
be but prolonged scrubbing could wipe it away. It all depends on the type

Couple o' points -

with shorter steerers. Forks and frames don't necessarily come from the
same production facility, and they are often cut to spec before packaging
them.
