I've only bought two bikes in my life that were planned out, and my size. The others were usually a little small, but too awesome to pass up, and just compensated with longer stem, setpost etc. So, you aren't wrong. Also, I meant bumping yer knees getting on or off or general ****ing around, not when actually riding.

As it sits now. I'm getting there. Just need a threaded setup and black bits here and there.

This is why I only ride bullhorns. Tried dorps, didn't like them as much, went back to bullhorns, and this is where I am staying.

You may want to level your bullhorns out and then have the steerer tube cut once you get the fit dialed in.

I finally finished building this on Saturday, but it's been raining since. Still dark outside today so hard to get descent pics.
This thing is 66cm and I'm only six feet tall so stopping requires my full attention.
It rides cushy and has this odd, old familiar feel to it. Got it down from 42lbs to 29lbs.
1976 Varsity frame, fork and stem.

On my other bike with narrow rims, the Kojaks barely measure 32mms. These rims are 32mms wide, causing the tires to plump up to to a chubby 36.5mm. I was surprised they would grow that much.
