Thanks to Dan in another thread for providing the link to the full geometry chart from Rivendell. I will post it below. Riv says that despite design changes the geometry remains the same so you can look at the 49mm frame here. Mine is 50mm but based on my effective reach measurement (which I am proud to say was pretty right on) I think its essentially the same. What you get vs the new one: v brake/canti mounts which equals way more tire clearance and way more brake choices. I will include shipping for the $2000
