First Ride: Transition's New Spire & Patrol
@Lagr1980: Good point. Transition usually suggest quite a bit of sag so I can see why these bikes would ride lower than the numbers indicate.

First Ride: Transition's New Spire & Patrol
@tedchalk: Exactly, that's why I was wondering why 350 is considered low.

First Ride: Transition's New Spire & Patrol
The workaround for pedal strikes is timing your pedalling. It becomes second nature. The workaround for a high BB is... there is no workaround. Low BBs are undeniably better for cornering.
On the other hand, these two bikes don't seem unusually low to me, at 343mm and 350mm. Seems pretty much par for the course for today's long travel bikes. All my recent bikes' BB height are right around 335mm.

Frame sizes named for suggested rider height. Why did it take so long for someone to think of that?

I don't know long lead times and raising prices are a good problem to have. It has resulted with me (and apparently you as well) unwilling to commit to a new bike purchase.
