As per title really. Think I'll be going for a 16inch frame (5'10"). My forks are currently 200mm. I could go for a stem with some rise but I'd prefer to stick some spacers in.

Thanks.

How long is the head tube?

I reckon you'l have 10-15mm for spacers. 🙂

Yeah, I've already had a look around for it.

Brant's answered a question about the Blue Pig, saying 200mm would be fine. But I was wondering if the 1.5" head tube (and step-down headset) would make any difference?

Well its got a 1.5 head tube so you can* run a zero stack reducer headset and Brant is known for liking low front ends so I would guess that the head tube isnt going to be much longer than 120mm add 45mm for your stem and you will have loads of room for spacers.

*If your forks are 1 1/8

EDIT: typed this before your second post arrived.

Headtube 115mm on the 16in frame. It's listed on the pdf, but I need to put it on a web page proper.
