Bikes: A little of everything

BTW - when you say geometry, what are you typically referring to? For me, I target a TTH of 59 to 61 cm. For flat bar - that is quite upright (ok for flat bar for me) and for drop bar, that is pretty stretched out which again I think is fine seems to suit the purpose to me. I have frames that vary from 66 cm seat tube to 56 cm but to me - that just changes amount of seat post showing. I do prefer a shorter head tube though. I have a bike with a 22.5 cm head tube so I have to invert the stem on that which is kind of ugly.

Thanks again
Just as long as you know to look at top tube length. That frame is very 'compact'- very short literal seat tube lengths compared to their top tube lengths.
