On the 20.5 version. The longer frames get a longer back end. The Edwin frame is the same.
A lot of companies used to do it that way, but its become less common these days.

I was thinking of getting a Van frame. Still a possibility if I can't get the Ruben.

Edit: No, sorry Drew. You would probably have to go used. Scour ebay or something?

How the hell did I not see this frame?

It ain't blue, but that's what paints for. I like it more than the Ruben, just as well cause I can't find a 21" Ruben frame anywhere besides American Cycle...I refuse to deal with them after the bar incident.

Dropouts don't look that much bigger than those of a Sunday.

Yeah, but the dropouts are higher up for the chain better clear the brakes. And every little bit helps. My frame is about 5mm too small. Not to mention it's got CHAINSTAY GRIND PLATES!!!tup

I read through the thread and i saw a couple of times you said that you didn't want a sunday, but i personally just think you should get a 2nd wave, Great geo, impossible to dent the dt where most dents happen commonly, light, Strong, Looks good, Dropouts are nicely sized. Just my opinion so please don't flame.
