Poll: What Would You Change About Bike Geometry?

The size small bikes are probably the best proportioned. I use a XL banshee Titan, and thankfully a 462mm chainstay. I'd like a shorter reach, and higher stack. Maybe dreadnought V2

Review: Yeti Goes Long With the Ultra-Adjustable LT

More stack would be nice. But it's nice to have appropriate chainstay lengths now. I still prefer my titan XL in the long chainstay option over this bike.
