The bashguard is a really nice thing, honestly. I wish I had a similar thing on my
commuting bike. No Sugino 75's for me
And yeah, tall bikes don't have the aesthetic perfection of a 56 or 58cm. But a properly-sized frame does look better than a smaller frame wtih really long stem and seatpost. As is the case with my good road bike, which actually rides great other than the stem being a bit flexy when standing to sprint or climb...
