I am not cool enough to consider such things. I just want a bike I can ride while looking straight ahead, sat upright. All dignified, like.
There's probably 3" (7.5cm for the rest of us) difference in top tube length between a large MTB frame and a large road frame, placing the swept back bars either 7.5 cm further/closer depending on that choice. Surely one choice must be preferable to the other. I'm just not sure how to work that out. I guess I might just have to go try some Raleigh Sports type bikes and make a load of measurements.
