lots of metal bikes are generally less aggressively fit/designed. really i want an open upper
Whut? Metal bikes come in all shapes and sizes. The OPEN U.P.(P.E.R.) itself is pretty slack with it's 72,5º seat tube.
Jaap-
yea-ish. i think in general they have longer wheelbases and higher stack/reach ratios. if you know of a counterexample i'd like to look at it.
the intent with the seat tube angle is the use of a zero setback post no? so you are pretty much in a road race position if you slam it. it is only about 1cm higher and shorter than my tcr if i recall the geo correctly.

yea but it is metal. lots of metal bikes fit this bill but are heavier and generally less aggressively fit/designed.
really i want an open upper with fender mounts, but gerard is a fucker and wants me to be wetter and more miserable than i already am.
