I would assume that it's because of the fillet-brazed 2nd top tube. Same with the MIT Atlantis. That probably adds more than $100 actual cost but, since it's only on the larger frames, it is ammortized over the full range of sizes so that there isn't a "penalty" for taller riders.
(But don't get hung up on the idea that you're paying for something you're not getting if you'd need a smaller frame, because it's also true that they don't penalize short riders for the cost of stocking slower-moving inventory.) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
