I'm learning a lot about bicycles here and was confused about this, from another thread: "I briefly owned a 58cm Betty [Foy] with the intent of running it with drop bars. When I was buying it, Keven asked “do you want to wait for the new 55? It has the identical numbers, just with the seat tube 3cm shorter”. I’m a 86cm PBH 5’10” Person. If I was running upright bars I’d go bigger. I’m certain I could rock a 55 Betty with drops ".
Why/how would a shorter seat tube be better/ different if the frame was otherwise the same? I thought one preference for most of us here was to have less seat post showing, but this would give us more. This is not for a criticism of how Riv makes their bikes, just wanting more understanding of frames.
