This makes the potential for indecency fairly serious (and the CanCan more spectacular). | |

| Jan 3, 2013 at 6:02 | comment | added | Angelo | Differing leg/torso ratios are handled by top-tube sizing for any given seat-tube length. I think the OP is asking about step-through frames-- not just sloping top-tubes like on compact geometry frames for road bikes. | |

| Jan 3, 2013 at 1:18 | comment | added | D.Salo | Some of us still bike in long skirts. Just sayin'. :) | |
