    Zen, Theres someone on the richmond craigslist with a surly steamroller bike in 49 cms, I think. They dont list what the components are, so I am not sure if they've got it set up as a single speed or what. But something that might work.

    If you ever wanna ride my surly to get an idea of fit or feel if you want to order one, its the pacer in 43/42 cms, I think...

    I should almost sell it to you, I think that bike hates me.

    The Steamroller is sold as a hipster-fixie and 49cm is too big for me.
    I wish all my bike decisions were so easy

    I'm looking for a lightweight touring bike if there is such a thing(custom, I know)
    Needs front & rear eyelets and numerous bottle mounts.

    A cross check is probably about as close as you'll get. Mine would be too big for you to test, though (50cm - fits like a 52).

    Light would be my concern. Otherwise, definitely LHT. But they're HEAVY (and I prefer not 26" wheels, but that's a whole 'nother kettle 'o fish).
