I look forward to measuring other sizes and finding out for sure! That said, since the Hunqapillar, Rambouillet, Roadeo, and Hilsen shown at that link are all in the same size "neighborhood" it probably does give a fair idea of the relative differences between the models. If anyone is around the SF Bay Area and would like their bikes measured, please drop me a line!
