The 97 Mariachi fits a bit different to most. I ride a 20" c-t with 26" wheels; I went with Salsa's quoted effective st of 20" (21.7 c-t) and it's just right. No need to go for a smaller st to improve standover with the insane bracing design on these. Niner bikes, for example, fit very differently: they seem to be designed for smaller seattube and longer seatpost with equivalent (effective) top tube length to acheive the standover. Looking at the geo charts, it seems that Salsa have gone with this approach for the current Mariachi.
Mariachis are fucking awesome!
