Wannaduacentury, my not so local bike shop suggested I build up a Kona sutra with a frame they had on hand. The modern compact frame and the fact I'd never seen or rode one before made me think twice about that. I did try a 54 Surly cross-check, but the top tube was too long. The 54 surly long hauler I tried for size in a trainer was long in reach too. Not too many production bikes are made for long legs and short torsos. I wish I lived in a mecca of bike shops to test ride, but I do have TE friends to help me narrow down my search.
