pinch bolt headtubes are awesome, you can run an angleset and change angles without having to press a cup in and out.
i like the idea and all, ive just never had to mess with a HA that much on any bike ive owned.. although moar adjustments is usually a good thing.

i have a bud whos owned some older style frames with that pinch bolt HT, he's complained about it creaking every once in a while... never ridden one or owned one, so i guess i have mixed feelings about em..? Very confused

Depends on many factors like fork length (dropping your forks from 100mm to 70mm makes a huge difference, even more huge when you go rigid), personal preference, riding style, stem length etc. Best is to try out some buddies their bikes and look at their geometry and fork length to find out when suits you best.

As I recall (terrible memory) my Mob and my Killswitch are both about 22.5" but Mob is listed as a large and the KS is listed as a medium. I'm a short 6'2" or tall 6'1" depending on how long I've been out of bed when I'm measured.

For me, when I ride 70mm suspension or less (rigid) I ride a 22" toptube.
When I ride 90mm or more suspension I ride a 22.5" toptube.

I'm 188cm / 6'2 tall

Could be possible, since they both are made for different styles of riding.

Usually people on downhill / freeride / slopestyle type of bikes ride longer toptubes than they do on freestyle bikes (street/dirt/park).

It's mainly due to the difference in speed and your adjusted riding position for that speed difference, but also the bike being more stable.

22.5" TT on my Edit 1, and I'm 5'11" tall. Feels good, if a little short. Though I feel like a 23" top tube would almost be too long.
