Great topic! As a tall guy with a 95cm PBH, I LOVE the new found comfort of riding a longer bike. Finally, there are a few bikes that are tall enough for me, and proportionally not too steep or too short feeling. My first experience with longer chainstays was with a 60cm Cheviot that I originally purchased for my wife but in the end became my everyday commuter for a few years. It felt like a breakthrough in comfort, even coming from a 62 Hunq but over time the Chev felt a tad small (low) for me and sure enough my PBH is 1cm past the recommended fit range. Last year I got a wide-Bosco'd 59cm Clem H with full racks and fenders for everyday use. It has a longer top tube, longer chainstays and is a bit taller compared to the Cheviot and is easily the most well-balanced and comfortable bike I have ever ridden, which is saying a lot coming from a Hunq and Chev. My Clem riding has led me to have much more interest in other LWB models, especially the newer Homer and Gus, despite the 'odd' (by traditional standards) appearance of these stretched out frames.
