Did you notice the tall BB height on the 170? All the geo numbers look great and I was very close to pulling the trigger other than the high BB height and low BB drop. Compared to the 150 version (which has a 10mm lower BB height and 18mm greater BB drop), the 170 is much taller. I would think that would lead to a significantly different cornering feeling than on the 150 and more of an "on the top of the bike" vs "in the bike" feel when riding. Curious to hear your views of this. Thanks.
