Not sure I understand your question. You usually talk in terms of BB
height. You mean from pedal to floor with crank arm at 6:00 position? My
650B conversion of an early Road has 2 7/8 under the pedal measured this
way. I can't recall a pedal strike in over 5,000 miles, but there may have

Ah! First good brain day in four days. I'll take it! So I'll be

Have you considered switching from Albas to Boscos? They are a good bit
higher and come back a few inches more as well.
I would say as long as your standover height is OK on the 55cm you should
consider the handlebar swap before the frame swap.

Hi Kellie, should be a fun bike set up. Any of the friction shifters
would work, but the Vaya has a 10 speed cassette. I've found that
friction shifting any more than eight gears isn't so much fun. If my
bike I would get 10 speed bar ends or Paul Thumbies.

Those are pure friction, right? If so, then maybe: some people are able
to successfully friction shift 10 speed drivetrains. Many others find
the spacing too close and have

IMHO words and phrases like fop chariot and reenactment embody
putrefaction.
Well, I have a Sam Hillborne with friction, 9 speed. I do get some ghost
shifts occasionally, but not a big deal. The major goal is getting an
upright handlebar without having to spend a lot of money; changing
derailleurs, cassettes etc.

I'm skeptical on planing beyond a good feeling only in that to gain energy
you have to give it away first. If the frame bends / flexes under power
than planes back you have given the energy away in the first place bending
the frame instead of transmitting that power to the ground in the first
Should have added that it's an eccentric hub, I'll also include spacers so it
can be run in a 135mm rear spacing.
I'll throw in a Paul Melvin in case you'd prefer to run a 2spd set up. Same
