Howdy. I have a rather long inseam that often leads to a very unpleasant saddle to bar drop with 90s MTB geo. I also think too much exposed seatpost looks unattractive. I'm happy to have found the 22" GT triple triangle frames as they measure 22" center to center, which ends up being something like 24.5" C-T.
~80s MTB geo often seems to be better in this regard (longer seat tubes). Are there any other bikes/frames I should be looking at that would fit my legs? As short reach as possible and long seat tube is what I'm looking for.
I recently found a 24" seat tube Emmelle Cheetah. Have not been able to see it in person, but these seem to have a rather crap reputation. I guess it's something along these lines I'm looking for geo wise.
