The story

Abe is 1.98 m and had given up on bikes that fit. His last frame had a seatpost extended past its limit line.

We drew a 640 mm stack and a long, stiff down tube, then tested the drawing against his fit sheet tube by tube. He now runs a normal-length seatpost for the first time in a decade.
