Thats a fly ride bud. I have to admit I like the graphics on the 2012s and you are are not the first person who has said they like the longer reach of that inaugural year.

I wish I could find the stack/reach figures for that year so I could plot them (only archive I see omits those critical measurements). They basically have the seat tube half a degree steeper, about an inch more ETT, and shorter head tube across the board which on the whole puts them closer to what they do on their X-cal series for example.

Makes me wonder if I was a year too late and would have been happier with the 19.5 from 2012 compared to the 21 from 2013.
