I just bought a bike with a serious sloping top tube and love it. I feel it adds a lot of stiffness turning and when I ride it feels just as good as my Carbon Sirrus.

When I had my custom frame made I also opted for the 'slight slope'.

No chance for the stainless. The builder is giving me this frameset because he wants my impression on the ride of Enve's carbon fiber tubing. He knows that I ride a ton of miles every year, and that I'm sensitive to changes of equipment.
