It seems that many riders are very happy with short stems and bars compensating for longer top tubes. I'd have to try such a combination before I paid for one, but it seems there are many different ways to skin a cat -- so to speak. And now I recollect that modern mountain bikes have similar design qualities; interesting that the new Atlantis and Hillborns(?) are following that design trend.
At any rate, the older, short-top-tube / long stem and bar also works impeccably for dirt road; perhaps one differentiating criterion is whether your riding is more road or more singletrack biased? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
