Why is that? I bought one that I'm about to swap some flat bars on from current Salsa Cowbell setup so could use some advice
M4xime-
There's nothing wrong with the frame - it is just obvious it was designed for use with drop bars, because the reach is short. I had to use a 120 mm stem with On-One Marys to get the right fit on my medium frame..
I have a 80 mm stem and a set of ritchey venturemax drop bars waiting in the parts bin for when I build it up again. -
FWIW I'm running mine with Nitto B903s, which probably equates to a very short reach, and it feels very upright, but fine for my bimbling through woodlands. That said I'd be quite keen to try drops again if I could afford GRX.

You'd have to size up considerably to use it with a flat bar in my experience.
Still a good frame at reasonable price. I'm just waiting for funds to build mine up again.
