yeah la... but you also have to take into account the spacers you are stacking mar... the bike will come with some longer steerer which you might not cut to maximum low initially.. so the feel might differ on first impression...

that few mm would not be very catastrophic la... can buy a longer 10mm longer stem to counter it anyways...further more on a size 52.. it is only shorter by 6mm if i am not wrong... euros to SL3

maybe i'll spend some time sketching the van nicholas, lynskey and SL3 using autocad. i suspect lynskey's dimension is closer to the SL3. will let u know.

even if money is not an issue, i wouldn't choose Red for these reasons:
- rd pulleys and bb need to be serviced very often; 100hrs riding time
- shifter hood is big, slightly bigger than DA7900

i know someone who regrets getting the red due to the ceramic maintenance issue

2nd point manyak invalid... like that the Force also out ma... cos the shifter shape is more or less the same as old Red... new Red body is in fact slightly slimmer and longer...

the blackbox bearings are a hit and miss thing... i think your friend got the lemon ones...that or the shop did not apply the supplied grease when they installed... it comes with a ceramic bearing grease which needs to be squeeze on like how you squeeze massage gel on mila kunis's back before engaging in some sexy time...else, the thing will f@k up faster than you can say f@k this shit...

actually he didn't read the manual, and he thought the maintenance of pulleys n bb are like any other types; which was maintenance free. he was wrong. even if u ride only 4 hours weekly, it'd only take 6 months before u need to dismantle and regrease them.
