Can't tell from the photos or the Geometry info what the status of the top tube is.... Slope or no Slope?

Thats the deal breaker for me...Otherwise I really like this frame, lots of bosses, could accept Clamp-on DT shifters if you wanted... comes with a threaded Fork (boo to threadless) 400 bux aint bad either. Admittedly I'd prefer a lugged frame, but at that price you just won't find it in the new market.
