Hello all, currently got an Amflow Pro, but was sold a hardly used (44 mile) RH4 S180 / RS180 Signature frameset, Bosch Gen 5 CX / 800kw. Amazing looking frame, it is fitted with the new Fox x2 Factory too. I built it up with my Amflow parts, including my Ohlins 170mm fork and put the flip chip in 160 rear position. Bike felt great but for me it felt cramped (only 185cm) in the cockpit and way too tall stand over height (30” inside leg). What can I do to adjust it to help before I have to wave the white flag and go back to the Amflow that felt right immediately. I so want to like this frame but maybe I am just the wrong shape for it… Thanks in advance.

If it's feeling cramped cockpit wise you could add +5mm reach with a works component headset. And maybe a longer stem too.
 
No the reach would be ok, a little cramped but not a deal breaker, it’s the stand over that is too tall for me with my little legs…. decided sadly it’s not going to work so is up for sale. Only 44.9 miles on it but I’ve put on eBay. If anyone is interested in a deal pls say, I will be back on Crestline soon.
