got to check one of these out at the shop yesterday, looks really nice, the colour blue is beautiful and love those curved chainstays. they should have a 58 in for me next week and i'll have it built up a week after that and give a full report.

I was looking at the angles of the frame,
75 seat tube
72 head tube
I've never seen any other frame like this.
I can only think that the steep ST is for better spin while the slack HT is for better offroad control/comfort.
Is there a reason no one else does this?
Or am I just not looking hard enough.
