Designing means solving a problem ... in order to do this you have to correctly determine the obstructions with which you are working ... better means better choice of the obstructions you have to overcome...
What if you're designing fashion?
Isn't that what this is all about?
Pretty much. Ask the Jones bike guy about geo, or the designers from Pole bikes about what makes a trail bike great and then ask the folks at Chromag or Kona and you'll get totally different answers.

What if you're designing fashion?
Even there are obstructions to overcome; choosing the materials to work with means setting up constraints you NEED to work with. The ones you were talking about,... those who get into the comfort zone... they have a style so polished that no longer considers it necessary to work with new, unknown obstructions.. and hence their mannerism...

And this!
the path of least resistance. default mode of the the human mind. but the exceptional push beyond
STA= what 67*? I want to like ritchey, but some of the things that man does don't make no sense.
STA must be slack indeed but the bike in the picture is certainly overforked. Chainstays are completely parallel to the ground, which means 0 bb drop. Not common at all on hardtails.
They'd probably have to charge another £100 at least for the extra hole!!lol! To busy fitting bosses for racks. Farting around with every imaginable dropout going. And so on and so on........ Didn't it take them 2 years to release this frame?? Maybe you're just expecting too much so soon......give them a few more years and they might get round to it!!
