Thus, as it stands, the bike is oddly proportioned, with tall folks having a short reach and short folks sitting in the stratosphere.
I hope that all this criticism is constructive, I think it's a great bike.
FYI a low BB will increase the risk of pedals strikes on the ground (on uneven pavment and turns). Hence a higher BB is safer for all riders. A longer seat tube will allow taller riders. Our NS, IX, and FS models allow riders with very long arms....due to an adjustable angle stem.
