I'd say probably EVERY Rivendell bike, with the exception of maybe the Roadeo, has longer chainstays than the Elephant NFE. The NFE has 43.5cm stays in all sizes. With the NFE's low trail geometry, every Riv is going to feel quite a bit different, not just the new long chainstay models (not a knock on the NFE or the long bikes).
