steel frame

I need a 59 cm TT and a 56 cm ST. Can this be done in steel with a

horizontal TT or does it need to be 'compacted'?
I would like to use if for a comfortable Double Century ride. I am ca.

Any suggestions on stock steel frames? Does Surley make one?
FYI my personal body geometry dictates this combination.

For a stock frame, I think a "compact" version is going to be your only
option. No stock 56cm frame is going to have a top tube as long as you
require, but a compact frame with that long a top tube is going to slope
down enough to the back that you might get the fit you're looking for. The
bars will be a bit high (logic says 3cm higher than a typical 56cm) but you
can probably deal with that by turning the stem "down" and either removing
the spacers (and cutting the fork) or just stack the spacers on top of the
stem (generally a temporary solution if it's more than a cm or so).

No masny stock frames will have a 59cm TT and a 56cm ST and probably
won't be horzontal. Gunnar makes a really nice cusrom steel for
$1050..Best deal for a full custom, IMO

Cut and paste is usually the best option when posting URLs.
