The Raaw Madonna is definitely on my wish list, although that's probably where it will stay given its cost and the fact that they're not set up to distribute in North America yet. It's impossible to say for sure without riding it, but the way the numbers add up on paper make me very curious about it. As a taller rider the size specific chainstays and the and steep actual seat tube angle are both very appealing to me. The weight weenie in me (which is I'm slowly letting go of every time I break yet another part) does kinda wish that the frame was a bit lighter, but I can let that go in favour of the overall design philosophy and geometry.
So yes please to an XL Raaw... with an 185mm Bike Yoke Revive :)
