And what do you think about this bike?

It has a very short chainstay and is described as a fast and stiff bike. Especially with 30,9 seat post.
Looking at that a while back. Pretty good.
Personally though I'd prefer the bb drop to be a little lower; 75mm at least.
I do like the big 650b clearance though. Its not a typo? Like a ti Open Wide in that dept.
