Hey All,
I mention this because nobody else has...yet. Maybe never, which would mean
that I am alone on this one, but here goes.
One of the things I have noticed as TTs have become angled is that they are
less comfortable to lean up against. Too much slope and you end up on the
seat, which is a
I am one of those "long leg/short torso" guys. My Ram and now my

If you start from the bottom bracket there are really two vectors that

to the top of the seattube. If you keep t

time getting bikes to fit with flat top tube without a taller stem. Those of
us with longer torsos can have a taller frame and can keep the stem in a
lower position.
Other than the "make fewer sizes advantage" its al

Sure ... you can get higher bars without resorting to a tall stem. Having
ridden bikes with tall stem and a sloping TT the sloping ones feel a
