how did you manage to run stylos without bash gaurd? the chainring bolt i have dont get tight enough to run without a bash guard if you can remember what type those are can you please send me a link?
I dunno dude, I just got some chainring bolts from my LBS. If they're too long you can use some washers if needed. Just talk to you LBS, they should be able to help you.
It's about average for a cro-mo frame, but this frame is stronger than any other cro-mo frame you'll find out there. I'm 5'9" and found it a bit small, and a friend of mine has ridden it before who's about your height and he was fine on it. So it should fit you.
