Tip, always take pictures of your bike from a slightly downward angle. Super high bars look weird at that angle. Thing looks like a chopper.

top tube 12.7mm added to the 24" 10.6mm to the 26" Small but you got to wonder why. NS plays with the designs a lot . They may have trimmed some parts of the frame to in order to maintain the addition of the tt length. Noticing the rear drop out shorter metal wise but still the same CS
