I'm glad that manufacturers are now embracing longer frames. Also, as someone here pointed out, narrow bars necessitate a longer top tube than wider bars. Because bringing the hands closer together effectively extends them further out. Interesting basic geometry fact that I'd overlooked for a long time.
Yes thank goodness! 59.5 is kind of on the edge for me, but it was the tipping point fo finally getting one of these fancy plastic bikes. Now if only I could get fuji to offer the same bike with 130mm spacing in the rear and a derailler hanger... Most manufacturers are still stuck on short top tubes and slack seat tubes for large road frames unfortunately. At least for track bikes, steep angles have always been available.
