I was excited about this project but seeing that frame does not make my eyes happy. It reminds me of a cheap “compact” road frame that manufacturers make to offer fewer sizes.
I guess that fits into the less expensive mold, but I was hoping for something more closely akin to a tig welded AHH with longer stays. I’ve stared at this picture a lot this morning trying to appreciate the top tube to no avail. Maybe it will look better with a Tallux stem? Maybe it would look better with bent seat stays? The top tube as shown would really only help stand over clearance further midway along itself. When I dismount I stand over the segment of TT immediately in front of the saddle. I guess I’m trying to understand the practical advantage of the swoopy top tube. Best, Aaron -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
