Looking at the 58cm Kepler Reepham Cycles are selling off and the headtube is shorter than the equivalent Straggler - really didnt think that is possible!!

As per Surly I don't see why a short headtube is a bad thing in itself, not all bikes are designed to be build with a slammed stem. Plus I guess it gives the option of having flat bars (on the next size up from what you would have with drops) with enough standover clearance.

Yes I realise that, and see as many Stragglers set up flat bar as drop bar, so thats obviously the thinking behind it.
