14-16" seat tube frames with 22-23" ETT make me happy. This one has the TT dropped about 3" down from the top of the ST as well for a very deeply sloped looked, which I like. The chainstays are a bit longer than I'd like, but for a first 29er frame, getting shorter and staying in the price range of the On-One frame would have been tough.

Not sure why so many companies still refer to frame sizing so much with the seat tube length, other than habit or tradition.
That's my next planned change.
