I too rode a smaller bike in the 1980's, but I was also 20 years
oldso is some of this just age. You know we get a bit older and a
bit less flexible and we go for bigger bikes.
I can possibly see how a 54 (c-c) Neo Primato would ride bigger than a

Excellent points.
I'm looking to have my bars between 1 and 2 inches below the saddle.

The Ram to the Neo Primato are very different bikes, so I'm asking if
anyone has experience of riding both RBW geometry and the classic

OK, I get you.
In my experience, the sizes do go down. My Hilsen was 59cm. Late

I have a similar experience. I currently ride a 59cm Romulus, and in the 80s
and 90s I rode a 56cm Guerciotti.
