New Bike — Wrong Size?

Picked up a used Standert Kreissäge before I moved to Cape Town, took it to a pro bike fit to see if the 58 frame actually fits, then rode the cliff roads for a first verdict.

Context
I crashed my old bike a month ago in a car accident and needed a fast solution before moving to South Africa. A friend sorted me with this old Standert (I’m usually a 56, this is a 58). In this video we walk through the build, do a proper fit with Reece, and take it out along Cape Town roads to decide if this was a dream buy—or a mistake.
