The original green Hillborne had a longer top tube. Even though I should
have purchased a 60, based on the TT length, went with a 56. My present

Oh idk . .. . I really wonder how many die hard steel enthusiasts
would own a carbon(or some future iteration of it) frame if they could get
it the exact same dimensions as their fav steel version. With all the
mounting points, etc. I suspect many would own at least one such bike, if
brass grows a very nice patina in weathering exposure. You have to have
salts and build up of sludge to make brass corrode, and then you can't even
tell that it corroded because the normal mode is dealloying.
