There's a lot of discussion here about the fine, subtle nuances of specific bike frames, right down to brands of steel tubing, lugged vs. welded joints, etc.

The truth is, you'll see bigger comfort and performance differences in your choice of tires, tire pressure, handlebar shape and position, stem angle and length, seat adjustment... many factors. Frame size, of course, is also a very important factor, more than frame model.

I don't doubt that the Wabi frames are very nice, although I've never ridden one. I just think some folks belabor the relatively trivial choices, like Wabi Special vs. Classic, or Reynolds vs. Tange. These factors don't matter nearly as much as the truly important ones that we might overlook.
