When I read about it, has me wondering why it wasn't done earlier (at least not that I'm aware of). So, what's the consensus of opinion from fellow riders?
Olds might remember the Gios Compact Pro that had adjustable dropouts - the claim was “shorter wheelbase for quick handling, longer wheelbase for all-day stability” - given that the total adjustment was ~1/2”, I don’t know how much of a difference it made. Pretty frames, though.
