You might want to compare the stack and reach of your bikes with the Susie, but you'll need to be careful. If you've added a lot of headset spacers (or a long quill stem) to your bikes to get them upright, that'll effectively increase their stack and decrease their reach (because of the angle of the headtube). The Susie has a pretty high stack, so you'd probably need fewer spacers to get the bar height you want (making its reach feel greater if you just compared the frame specs to bikes where you used more spacers).
Does that make sense? Please, someone correct me if I'm thinking about this wrong. On Monday, May 13, 2024 at 1:34:17 PM UTC-6 johnwc...@gmail.com wrote: > Hey y’all, longtime lurker here.
