I am looking to replace my old Bianchi Limited frame which I crashed and bent with a LHT and test drove the 58cm (too small) and the 62cm (too large). No shop  has a 60cm in Chicago. I will end up just buying the frame anyway, so if anyone had a 60cm LHT that I could test drive for frame fit I would be eternally in your debt.

Surly Blog here.
I bought my LHT at Cycle Smithy's a few years back. They didn't have the size I ended up buying (56cm) in stock so they put me on a fitting bike contraption and measured it that way. I ended up with a smaller size and a super high stem. The bike fits me well.

Might be worth a try.
how tall are you joe?

Im 6'4" with a 33.5 inseam / true inseam is 36.5 but thats a tailors thing. but i have owned 2 crosscheck( 58cm) 1LHT and a steamroller(56cm) .

my LHT was a 58 with about 1.25" in stem shims matched to a thomson 90mm 15 deg + stem. post was a regular thomson 410mm long 27.2 dia.

now also I had 175mm cranks

any help I could offer would be based off of your numbers.

I am also in the market for a 60" LHT frame. All shops are currently out of stock till early October due to the insane popularity this year. I have been assured by several shops that they will be available again soon.
Ryan, stop being so tall!
