A 59 degree HA and what a 51" WB in a medium.....

I would really like to try to ride one.

The fastest route is a straight line.

That cat fully characterizes my opinions on most of what I read in the news.

Looks flexy.

Looks to be approaching the wheelbase of a Geo Metro. So that's kinda neat : /

 

[jonKranked]

even barel couldn't ride that

I find it really odd that they use a regular length stem vs. the short stem/long top tube thing I thought they were going for.

I feel that Chris Porters 'No one tells me what to do' attitude is resulting in a 'oh, we can go longer AND slacker' approach to building. The 2017 model will have a tandem wheelbase and bars below the front wheel axis.

As much as I would like to take a run on this thing, I pretty much know I'd hate it. At this point I know what works for me and i know that I wouldn't be able to get any front end grip with a head angle that slack.

It's only a matter of time before we'll have rear wheel steering systems.

With chainstays that long, I'll bet it already does.

The HA is pretty crazy though my Insurgent at 64 isn't so bad. For me to actually ride that bike I would probably want a -1.5 Headset in it. I know The Furbee's had been running close to 61 HA with their TR500 with negative cups not sure if they are still doing this.

 

[Peregrinebikes]

Wow, those are pretty crazy numbers. The thing looks too long to corner.
