Any tall guys riding shorter top tubes? I’m 6’2” and bought a subrosa Salvador with a 21” top tube in 2021 and honestly it has never felt very responsive and nimble. If anything it almost feels too big. I had been out of the game for about 20 years and bought it to ride with my kids.

Im 6,2 and I rode a 20.5 for about a year. Made some adjustments via long reach stem. Tall bars.. raised seat post and 175mm crank arms. It rode like a 21″ but felt overly responsive, extremely twitchy in bowls, or at speed.
Changed to a 21.25 and its been all smooth sailing ever since. However.. if the 21 feels too big, then its too big. Id say if your looking for responsive try 20.5 … also look at 15mm offset forks or even steeper. This is where ALOT of the twitchy feel will come from is forks/stem alone.
