Looking for a potential frame swap.
My 60cm Rambouillet for your 58cm frame.
****CAVEAT****
The 60cm Ram is expected to have a top tube length of 58cm CtC.
_However_
My 60cm Ram (measured 60cm CTT of seat tube or 58cm CtC) has a top tube length of 57cm. That's a whole 1cm shorter than the geometry charts available. I believe this to be a later run that had slightly adjusted geometry.

I have come to realize ideally I would have a top tube length of 55.5 or 56cm. However, I like a nice french fit. Due to genetics I have shorter arms than your average bear.

So I am interested in trading my Ram for your Ram (or maybe other very nice road oriented bike capable of 650bx42 + fenders) if the SeatTube is 57-58cm CtC and the top tube is 55.5-56cm CtC.

Weird ask. But here we are.

Attached pic of my Ram for those who are interested in seeing a Ram built up with:
* MAFAC RAIDs
* 650b x 42 (Babyshoe Pass)
* Nitto x Fairweather AllRoad bars
* Suntour Superbe Seatpost
* Berthoud Saddle
* SRAM S500 levers
* IRD Defiant 94bcd crankset w/ TA rings 46x29 gearing
* Bar end Simplex Retrofriction rear shifter + downtube front shifter.

I'd ask on RBW but I'm banned :*(
