Horizontal length is kinda long for me (5'6" height) but it looks like I can manage the reach by using a minimal length stem (38mm).
Hmm. The Simon site lists top tube length at 560mm, which is 42mm longer than the biggest Nano frame size, and the seat tube length (frame height) at the same 460mm you cite, which is 70mm shorter than the Nano. Nano’s head tube length is also 25mm longer, suggesting stack height on the Simon may be lower, but then the fork axle-to-crown height on the Simon looks taller, perhaps making up the difference.
I’d certainly welcome the added reach, but needing ~3” more seatpost extension is getting pretty extreme, so I’ll need to look at what the implications are there. Were it an OS seat post diameter, I’d feel more at ease I think, but maybe finding a sufficiently long 27.2 post is easier than I think.
