I think it's really pretty, but you know what might be kind of neat about this would be the ability to vary the curve as necessary, to accommodate different chainstay or seattube lengths, if they eventually wanted to add more sizes. I had kind of thought that the fixed seatstay angle would be more limiting and meant that these three frame size / wheel size combinations were going to be it. So, if it sells as well as I hope it does for them and, if one of these first sizes just doesn't fit, maybe there's still hope???!! Also, I've heard mixed reviews as to whether you could feel any additional compliance on the Ritchey Plexus, that featured something like this, but it sure couldn't hurt. Being long, these might exaggerate the effect.
While I'm at it, here's the only uneducated, unsolicited suggestion I might make: Assuming the rear canti hanger is located WAY down the chainstays, it seems like the brake cable routing could be moved to the underside of the top tube. That way, the cable stops would be less likely to get banged up. And a smooth, snag-free top tube is always a nice thing - but especially if you're a guy and are riding a frame that is slightly too big. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
