If I told you bikesdirect uses less than admirable business practices such as child labor... ever wondered why kilo tt dimensions are never the same? That's what happens when children are forced to learn tig welding before arithmetic.
This post is a tribute to those little girls and boys who lost their lives to the tire clearance fiasco. Corporal punishment.

Hers isn't murdered out though. I just really dig the whole setup of that build.
I think I may just bet super stoked about it because it's a new addition to the family. I also think it's cute 'cause it's so tiny.

Maybe you should tell that to hairnet's face. 
I have to agree with you through; especially when you have a womanly sized version of the same bike; in my case, my wife's 48cm orbea orca to my 54.

sell cheap a$$ converted fgss bikes i build up from donated/used parts and sell them to snarky Brown University kids who want so bad to be hipster for more than double the price they are worth. i also sell them dumpster clothing and other goodies found in dumpsters.

i am actually in olneyville. the bikes are all good bikes, but we get almost everything donated to us, alot actually comes from bikes the brown students left on campus over the summer, so what they are paying for is mostly labor charges. but we can price a fgss up to 100 bucks higher than other bikes and they will sell like hotcakes to college students wanting some hipster cred.
