It's a beautiful machine otherwise. Just looks as if the C-to-C is a bit cramming.

There aren't any variations in other than the 5 frame sizes available (the dimensions are all listed here:
http://kogswell.com/PR.html ).
It actually fits almost exactly the same as my 56cm Nishiki (link to that in my sig as well) - the facts that the seat tube extends 2cm above the top tube, the top tube slopes upwards (2 degrees, I think), AND the head tube is extended all conspire to make it look visually like it's proportioned differently.
I like to stretch out, and I don't feel cramped on it, despite the fact that I've got a VERY different position than my Nishiki thanks to the radically different handlebars I've chosen for each.
YMMV, of course.
