the black betty is a combo of the night train and thunder bird, it's sorta the same geometry.
its not the frame, is the forks/tire.
or you just simply plain have HUGE feet

actually the TB and NT are exactly the same frames, just different colour. The black betty is slightly lighter at 5.6 instead of 5.7 pounds, has an option of 10mm or 14mm dropouts, only offered in black,white or chrome and is frame only. For 400 dollars on jensonUSA, it's a pretty good deal. Fun bike fo sho.

size 11 is pretty big compared to my little 9.5s! Though i am chinese so i guess that makes sense lol . Anyways it's probably the frame, how else will can they make a frame so short? All i can say is get 165 cranks and or move back your foot. Next time you get a frame maybe go for a 22inch or 22.5 Top Tube? My friend successfully bar spins with only one foot on the pedals on his transition top, maybe try that out.
