I have a 2007 KM frameset (16") that is currently attached to an Xtracycle cargobike kit. I'm planning to switch to a new cargobike setup in November and build up the KM as a rigid dropbar 1x8, my first real mtb! Your notes on sizing and frame fit have been really helpful as it sounds like we are similar in stature. I ride a 54cm Cross Check for cyclocross and proper fit has always been difficult for me to achieve. Thanks for posting.
