I'm wondering if there are any tall lanky guys out there on an SB-95's!
I'm currently on an XL Kona Honzo, with a 70mm stem, a bunch of spacers under it and a Reverb post (so no offset in the post head.) It feels good.
If I were to roll on an XL SB-95 I'd be losing an inch of effective top tube - the one number I really look at when considering frames. At 26" the Honzo is quite long… but so am I.
It would seem logical then that I would run a longer stem on the SB95 (let's say 100mm, for example) and perhaps a post with some setback to gain more reach. Would a stem of this length on the SB be acceptable - or would it start to kill the handling Yetis are known for? Or, am I focusing too much on top tube length and not seeing the forest for the trees?
Any input is appreciated! I have always admired Yeti - but we see very few of them in New England. Hoping to try and demo an SB this summer - and maybe join the Tribe after?
