larry are you the former pinball wizard champ. are you really as tall as elton john in platforms . what secret testing have you been up to. have you been rebuilt???????? what or what. mate i can tell you that at 6 ft 1 the large chainstay puts the boom on the v20 at about 5 deg off horizontal sloping to the chainset. i reckon with your inseam you may find it sloping the other way with a large chainstay?? compared to the large v2 chainstay and boom the setup is as already noted not so in your lap with the handlebars in comparison. i can take some measurements if you like. just email me. sorry i dont have a set spare though.

The bars can probably be raised a bit by using a riser on the fork steerer if they drop to low. Ben Tomblin raced with a large chainstay and downward sloping boom. There are pictures on this site of him.

Which begs the question, Larry, is this for better streamlining? I have a 42-43" x-seam and would prefer to ride a medium chainstay. There was someone on BROL last year who was selling a V2 Vendetta with both chainstays. The large chainstays were off the bike.
