    Just goes to show how different we all are. DH and I had a fit kit done when we purchased our Fridays. My Trek 520 fit exactly to those measurements (I think we were 1mm off on bar reach) right out of the box. We didn't even have to change out the stem.

    I usually ride a 52cm bike - I had to go down to a 50 in the Surly for standover and length (and it's still ever so slightly too long, but not enough to bother me - especially with noodle bars).

    Is that a LHT or a Crosscheck? If its the Crosscheck, they measure a bit smaller because the bottom bracket is higher (as it is with all cross bikes), so pretty much everyone has to go down a "size". I'm not sure about the LHT though.

    It's a Crosscheck - I was just surprised at how big the difference was - I'm close to a 54 on a road frame and the 50 is almost too big But, I love the bike, and I've done 80+ miles on it with nothing but the usual aches, so I think the fit is OK There's a picture of it under the pink bike thread (pink wheels and pink bottle cages) - I'm debating adding pink bar tape

    Discipline is remembering what you want.
