I love the geometry, particularly the longer CS. The looks of the frame are even better. As for the close dropouts, yes-- I only use nankai and that'd be a problem. Second, and less important, I personally don't like the integrated seat clamp, but that is just me. A 19.25" TT option would be amazingK
i rode a st martin, a mankind alive and a quamen chyphyr, all of which are narrow diamond frames(which i do like the look of) and i broke the sh*t out of each of 'em in the exact same place, near the head tube. the down tubes buckled on 2 of them and the tt on the quamen. would a gusset eliminate this problem?
