Hi, I've got a 99 Tirebiter size 56cm. I've been riding it for a long time, thinking of giving it to my brother and getting a new roadie with newer components. Anyway, just curious what sort of geometry differences there may be. I noted in another thread that the headtube is taller, which is a welcome change.

Also, I note that the fitmaster reach for the Roadie size 56cm is 56, but for the 58cm it's only 56.5 despite the 57 effective top tube. Which is a better indication of the top tube feel, the effective top tube or the fitmaster reach? I'm a guy with long legs and a short torso, so I was thinking the 58 might actually make more sense if it's not too long for me.

Thanks for any help.
