I have this Frontiera with extended head and seat tubes which effectively make it 63cm x 59.5cm (ct x cc) cc seat tube is 56.5cm so loads of standover clearence, headtube is 20cm top to bottom. I guess the thinking behind this construction is that as well as extra standover a smaller frame is stiffer than a large frame.
Made from Columbus TSX it promises to be a great ride however the build quality is not the best, the rear dropouts are not very well finished and there is chrome missing from the forks. There is also a small crack by the seat lug, the seatpost was stuck and I reckon someone tried opening it up too aggresively, should not cause a problem imo. The paint is generally very good though and it has a Cinelli aero bb.
