hi all. Still on the search for the Ti bike (see other post) and have found an Argon 18 Ti which I really like. I typically ride a 56cm C -C but the Argon is a 54cm. Could I make this frame fit me comfortably (longer stem, setback on seatpost) or would it be too small.

Thoughts???

Cheers

I would say so with more seat post, and a longer stem. But if possible I would give the bike a try or test another bike of similar size.

If you can hit your contact points without it looking goofy, it will be fine.

You can't tell without knowing the stack and reach. Compare those figures to a current frame that fits you well.

The reach will tell you how long of a stem you'll need and the stack will tell you many spacers you'll need to get the stem in the right position.

Out of curiousity, how long is it since they made a ti frame?
