Yeah, I was surprised after demo I preferred this size. RAD measurement is right on. Saddle position is my personal preference.. I've always had it slammed and forward as much as possible. That's the only reason why I ride the Fall LIne R. I'm not aware of any other brand that makes aftermarket forehead seat adjustment and smaller lower tube length.. Just wish they offer it in 175mm

I fail to see the reason for having the seat slammed forward like this. In general it's clear why to do it, but with this bike, where the seat tube angle is actually VERY steep and the top tube being so short... why? You're making an already short bike even shorter.

how about slack seat angle....... 76.1 is not a steep STA. Plus these most of these brands are lying about their angles. Giving you the angle at the collar vs your actual seat rails. Then your sitting at your cassette at full extension questioning if its a real 76 STA....

Can't compare reach without comparing ESTA and ETT.

Legit set up

You would think brands would just steepen STA seeing just about everyone slamming seats forward

So true. I saw that bike and thought, "Well that's too big for the rider" right away. If owner is happy, then I guess it isn't, but seems weird to have a forward tilting and positioned saddle on that frame in particular.
