mate is now umming and arrring as to whether or not he should have stumped for an 18". he's 5'8" but used to riding silly long travel fully. think he needs a longer stem than the 25mm one he currently has.

although the top tube on my Sanderson (also 16") is 2cm longer than on the 456.

[b]fatmuthahubbard[/b] and [b]takisawa2[/b] - those green meanies are looking really rather nice. 🙂

Now feeling a bit guilty about putting gears on mine as yours look so clean and neat, but necessity is the mother of... and all that.

Topic starter
 

Thanks for all of the replies. Picked up a second hand 16" scandal and had my first ride last night. Top tube is slightly shorter than my Specialized Epic donor bike, so felt marginally more upright, but not much in it. Think I might add 10mm to the stem to space it out a tad more, and it should be fine. Got a 420mm seatpost just in case, although, I could probably get away with a 350mm post and still have enough in the frame.

Should really cut the steerer tube too, but I'm holding off for a few months until I have decided that I'm definitely not going back to the Epic.

Now to save up for a 16" inbred....
