I consider myself open minded about frames, their origin, price, etc. I checked out Velo Vie and was disturbed by the odd top tube lengths. I scratched them off my list after that.

I just double checked to see what perturbed me. It's the fact that their 3rd largest frame has the second longest top tube. Their 2nd largest frame apparently is 0.1 mm longer. (This data is off their site, Road Cycles Vecteur 100, geometry link on the pop up page). I got there from here:
http://www.velovie.com/catdesc.php?c...kahvg963lf85o0

38 cm frame, 52.5 cm TT
42, 54.1
50, 54.0
54, 55.0

It might be due to production costs or something but it doesn't seem right.

However, if the frame fits, then I'd leave it on my list.
