Thanks for the reply! I didn't want you to think I was being snarky or dismissive at all. Just a thought that the frame looks big in the pic based on the lack of seatpost and height of bars. Especially as Hunqs have a sloping top tube. But if your top tube length is the same as other bikes... well, don't know what to say then!
