The slack seat tube angle shortens the frame's reach dimension and I found myself glad that my ~60cm example came with a longish stem.
I like mine for all kinds of riding, but it seems less snappy than most others, more like a Super Course.
Yesh, but the chrome and pinstripes gotta make it go faster.
