I have a photo of me standing next to the 48cm, but unfortunately, not riding it. It is definitely a small frame and, aside from the upsloping top-tube and stingy standover clearance, almost exactly the same size as my new custom all-around frame which was designed to replace my 48cm B'stone XO-2. I believe this is Vaughn's bike. Does anyone one know how tall Vaughn is?
Johnny, is a 54.5cm top tube on the Hunq'a awfully short for a guy your size for anything but drop bars? Which bars do you plan to use? The 48cm prototype was setup with Bullmoose bars which swept back so much, the "effective" stem extension was nearly zero (ie. the bar swept back so that the grips were on the same plane as the headset). I found it to be incredibly comfortable but almost a little cramped! With an Albatross bar, I'd probably need an 11cm, maybe even longer. I'll have to give this frame some serious thought. It really is a fantastic value. It would create some duplication in my stable, but maybe that is not a bad thing. Stick with what works, right? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
