Sloping frames = Increased nut clearance = fewer sizes = reduced costs
I don't like the aesthetics much, but I'm starting to come around. If $4000 pro carbon frames have sloping TTs, they've gotta be good for somethig, no?
That Giant Bowster is repellent, but you know it'll be cheapish. Let's all be glad the major mfrs don't start cranking out lugged 853 frames with good parts. what the hell would we do with our time?
