Surly Long Haul Trucker 60cm fit

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.

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.

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.
