And just like you with your perspective and preferences, others have their own perspectives and preferences. What fit works one person may not work for you. Funny that. and besides, why are you giving so much consternation for a WW in the pro ranks? viewtopic.php?f=14&t=75179&start=14865#p957742 _________________ Exp001 || TeamLACBC

And for that matter why no deep front wheel? Less point having a deep rear wheel as the wind is dirty at that point. Interesting bike. Seems to contradict itself.

And did you see my thread on the newer generation of Giant road frames that do not have enough clearance for some 25c tyres? Ever worked for a large OEM? Ever been invloved in frame design for top pros? Work in a race shop and see a lot of bikes? Or do you just tinker with bikes in your bedroom?
