EAI Godzilla sizing help
hey !
i need help with sizing. ive been looking for a 52 godzilla or bareknuckle, apparently i cant find one anywhere so im just going to buy one off of retrogression that carries them in 54. i would just pull the trigger but i dont want to spend around 930 bucks on a frame that wont be "comfortable".
im 176 CM with an 81 Inseem.
would this fit me well or should i just keep on waiting for a 52?
Thanks to all for your help.
Below is a pic of the sizing chart.

Too big, unless you want to be sing soprano every time you dismount. The seat tube is measured c-c.

The 50 should work, It is a cm shorter on the top tube and two lower at the top of the head tube so a longer, higher stem will give you identical fit.
One of my bikes is a lot smaller, but with a ling stem, the fit is identical to the frames stat fit "properly" (several custom) and it is an excellent ride. I don't even think of the frame size unless I am standing over it. (Top tube hits my leg a lot lower.)

Does "81 inseam" mean your pants inseam, or your pubic bone height? Does it include shoes?
I'd rather be careful dismounting my bike than to ride one that's way too small.
