I need some big bike advice. Currently I'm knocking around on a Dedacciai Pista, it's almost spot on... Geo is:
Size XXL
Horizontal Top Tube Length: 590
Seat Tube Length: 640
Seat Tube Angle: 72.5
Chainstay Length: 410
Only problem is the slack seat tube, I'm on an inline post and the saddle's all the way forward on the rails. Ideally I'd be looking for something with a 74 deg ST, and I suppose shorter TT that'd go with it? I've got long legs (880mm BB to top of saddle) but I'm more shin and foot than femur, so need to be quite far forward over the BB for KOPS.
Smaller frame wouldn't really work as I need the long head tube (external headset, so add a couple of centimetres to account for headset cups). I recently tried building up a 60cm Pre Cursa but the 350mm seatpost was at min. insertion, TT was really long and the HT really short, I needed a massive stack of spacers and a short stem to get anywhere near comfy. Looked stupid and felt weird.
Do any OTP frames exist with the kind of geo I'm looking for or am I looking at a custom frame?
