Most high end manufacturers offer a lot more than "small, medium, large." I'm looking at a Colnago C59 and it comes in 11 sizes. I have a Cervelo and it comes in six sizes. Specailized has six. Cannondale has eight.

I like the looks of sloping top tubes. Most people feel the same way. Several years ago when sloping top tubes first came out, Seven which makes nothing but custom said over 85% of their bikes were ordered with sloping top tubes. The extra stand over clearance is nice too. I guess the obvious question is what advantge does a horizontal top tube offer?
