What, if any, are the disadvantages of a bike with a very long chainstay? I see that the
Masi Speciale Randonneur had a chainstay length of 465mm! While the others I am
considering are at 425mm...the Volpe, Crosscheclk, Clubman, etc.

It seems like the longest chainstay of any of the bikes im looking at. Will this mean a more
slow, sluggish feel to the bike?

Now, I wondering if I should go with the Volpe instead? Im a numbers guy and I may be
overthinking this and it really means nothing.

Any thoughts?
