WSD steel/making it fit (long, lots of ?s)

[eofelis]

My surly pacer had a ridiculously short top tube for a unisex bike. I'm not a wsd person and at 5'1, I like a 520-540 cm top tube. The pacer had a 490 cm top tube. So that being said, it never really fit me well, so my comments on the bike might be entirely off base since I never rode it more than about 45 miles (painful ones). So I think the fit of the pacer will probably be fine.

Interestingly, I'm 5'2" and the top tube of the 42cm Pacer (first it was mine, then it was yours) was just right for me, I thought it was about 50cm. 52cm is about the longest I can go, and I try not to go there. I did centuries on that same exact frame with no problems. I guess I'm a WSD rider. My 44cm Spec Ruby fits me well.

I'm definitely not! I had a 130 cm stem on the surly trying to make it long enough.

I have a bizarrely long torso or something apparently.
