True, but that would require a different frame design with a different look and feel to accommodate a limited percentage of riders. I believe only 1-2% of potential riders fall within that range. As...

55cm Classic might be too large for you - especially standover. I'd measure you actual inseam and check how it clears the 32.5" standover.

I wouldn't say the Sub 15s are fragile, but they are ultralight wheels so they have some limitations - rider weight, very aggressive riding, gravel... Have you considered the Wabi Lightweights?...

That bike was a 49cm. We don't even make a 53cm. The seller was going off a center to top measurement on the seat tube, which is ~53m. But not a good way to measure frames (even though brands do it).
