Here's the thing- a bigger frame won't work. I used to ride bigger frames but the top tube was always too long. Used to use a setback post but the no setback is (significantly) better for me. Slammed stem, could care less. At some point I'll end up with a custom frame with a longer head tube. For now, this is what works and allows me to be comfortable. Aesthetically speaking, you could go back through this thread and pick out hundreds of bikes with "aesthetic issues". Oh wait, isn't that what the Hot or Not deal is for?
