Deviate Cycles - Press Release
@deviatecycles: sure, I get that but imagine that 450 reach with a 419 seat tube! There would still be room to slam a seat post right? I'm just annoyed because the bike looks awesome with some really nice solutions but my short legs takes it off the short list for me...size small could still fit I guess, given the long reach.

Ok, so let's design a perfect bike. -No wait, it must not be done! We must completely destroy it and build it around a seat tube with the length of a mighty ships mightiest mast, it must be so long only people completely made out of legs can use a dropper post. And not a dropper longer than an inch!
Yeah, so a lot of companies are trying really hard to design bikes with average or short length seat tubes to be able to fit a lot of different riders and seat post lengths. There are some still being stubborn and keeping it long like Intense , a lot of the Germans and some older small bike builders. But a new kid on the block pushing a seat tube in size medium of almost 46cm What the ....?
I'm built like a freaking dachshund so I'm of course over sensitive, but I think you should stop the freakshow and cut 40mm from the seat tube. It's a shame really!

There's bad news and then there's bad news.
This doesn't fit in any of them. Damn shame.
Rip.

Intense Spider 275C Factory Build - Review
That seat tube though...or wait I can attach a sail to it and boat away in to the sunset... Only a couple of brands still sticking with towering seat masts, it's a shame the spider got bit!
