An advantage of a lower BB is that it produces more stack without having a ridiculous looking long head tube that's so popular today. I guess the reason I like this bike is because when I first glance at it, it looks like a standard road racing bike but it has clearance for big tires which would be good for my roads. I don't know, maybe it's just me. Those are 28's in the pic.




And by my calculations of my personal measurements, I would only need maybe two spacers to get the saddle to bar drop I like, which isn't low. So I wouldn't be as worried about snapping a carbon steerer and it looks better.
