I’m 5’11-1/2” and I suspect I’ll run into the same thing when I finish this MultiTrack road conversion.

I noticed the long top tube too. I set it up temporarily with this 13cm Salsa stem but it is quite apparent that I will be way too stretched out....



I’m loving the Salsa “Shaft” 26.8 polished silver seatpost I found. When I fit a shorter stem I plan to coordinate the colors and find a nice (front loading) silver anodized quill stem that doesn’t look too dorky.
