Upgraded as far as we'll probably take this frame. He's been doing well in local fg crits so I've been helping him upgrade this as we go. This bike rules. //////////////////////////////////////////// Update 13 months later. My buddy has been competing on this bike for two seasons now. Going strong. Placing in the top 5 of every race he does. Rad

How do you like the frame? Been thinking about picking one up as a beater, but the geo seems a little weird. I looked on one website and it says the 55cm has a 52cm top tube. Does it feel small for you?

Alright I take back my previous comment. the 55 is small. real small. The size that's called "55" should actually be called 53, but it has a 55cm seat tube. My "56" Parallax has a 56cm top tube, the "58" District has a 55.5cm top tube, but a relatively tall (58cm) seat tube. Go figure.
