Fezzari

The shock position is actually in the exact same place on all sizes. With the shortened top tube, it made more sense to rotate the shock can up and mount it from the down tube instead of the top tube. This also left room for a water bottle on a size small. If you were to draw and (x,y) plane with the center of the BB being (0,0), the center of the pivot locations is the exact same. Each frame size has to be completely thought out as you pointed out with these shock difference. I hope that makes sense and answers your question.

Sorry typo: Thanks to metric shocks and being able to change the stroke relatively easy and it NOT mess with geo, riders can tune travel if they’d like.

@Hayek: It's pretty cool you and colleagues took to the time to run the analysis on our name. It's actually kind of flattering someone would spend the time to do that. We see and recognize that some potential customers have issues with the name, it's not ignored. One point that is not publicly visible is the amount of customers that send emails and messages about how much they love their bike, purchase and wear proudly shirts, hats, stickers, etc., with the brand name, as well as buy Fezzari bikes. What is also pretty cool to us is the number of people that refer in their family and friends to buy bikes. Can our brand and customer base grow? Absolutely. I'd argue that most reputable companies rarely ignore feedback. Instead they analyze the feedback along with additional data points, then make decisions based on that feedback and data points combined. I'd argue Fezzari falls into that category with other reputable companies when it comes to analyzing and action on public feedback. It does look like your are not too far from our offices, if you'd like, we'd be happy to have you down sometime and show you a few of the things we have going on and how some of the feedback over the last several years has made its way into current and future product, along with some of the ways we work with customers. Let me know a time that works best and we can see about making that happen. All the best, Tyler - Product Development

@agraber: We appreciate your sense of humor on this too. We love feedback and it is something we listen to and analyze. No harshness on it at all. Keep the feedback coming. Hopefully one day we can get you on at least a demo ride and get some feedback on the ride experience as well.

For more experienced riders like yourself that know exactly which size you would like, you can put the size of the bike you would like in the comments on your order, or call in to place your order. We like to have the measurements so we can customize things like dropper post travel, initial suspension settings, etc.

Don’t worry, your friends probably already think you’re a loser. . Jk, we kid. Feedback noted. Thanks for sharing your opinion. Come visit us at the next demo and you can try one out. -Tyler- Product Development
