CORRECTION: On second thought, ignore what I said about raising the seat. Everything else I said was true but it is true that with the Expanded frames you do show more seatpost. So yes, the 64 cm Renovelo would show less seatpost than a 62 cm Hunq. However, the 62 cm would feel like a bigger bike. The Expanded geometry frames achieve higher headtubes and handlebars with lower seat clusters (as a result of the angle.) For a given seat height, obviously a 62 frame will show more seatpost than a 64 frame. Sorry for that one erroneous part of my message.
