Is it okay to size down if you want to do stupid shit like bunny hops, wheelies, fish n chips, etc.?
I'm thinking about getting a Kilo TT once they're restocked but I'm torn on the size.
My current bike has a 64cm stack and 40cm reach; it feels good to me for casual riding but there is no way in hell I can bunny hop or wheelie with this barge.
Kilo TT
57cm frame: 55cm stack, 42cm reach
60cm frame: 58cm stack, 44cm reach
If I were to go with the 57cm frame, would that mean I would have to deal with an additional 64-55 = 9cm drop compared to what I'm used to such that it would almost be equivalent to riding at the bottom of my current bike's drops? I understand it's not quite equivalent since the bars will be closer to me unless I put on a super long stem. I have no intention of using drop bars on the Kilo.
This photo is a 57cm frame and I feel like the distance from the bb to the seat is similar, if not taller, than what I ride (using the wheel as a rough guide for scale). So this makes me think a 57cm frame would be okay.
