How pretty. Too tall for me but very pretty. Now if it were medium small we would be talking.

How tall are you? What is medium tall?

The chart above has more details, but it's essentially Blue's equivalent of a women's geometry 56cm: it's a ~54cm top tube, but its seat tube is "taller" than the seat tube on their Medium (54cm) frame. (Good for a typical woman's build of long legs and shorter reach.)

I'm 5'9" and before this Blue, I rode a Trek 56cm WSD and a 57cm WSD.

Someone out there needs a new frame, right?? ;)

Bummer...

Yeah, I am 5'9" but I also rocked a fairly serious amount of seat post when I had this bike built up.

The seat tube angle is indeed 73- don't know what to tell you about that.

Let me know if you have any questions/ would like more photos. The frame is just hanging out in my living room...
