I believe you are correct. The chainstays on my early model 56cm Atlantis (over 10 years old) measure about 44.5cm. I've always thought that was a little short for chainstays on a touring bike, so making them a little longer was probably a good idea. That said, I've never had a problem with heel strike on the rear panniers.
I think the early 700c wheel frames (58cm and larger) had longer chainstays than the 26" wheel versions. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
