I'm looking at a used Ottrot ST custom but question the following:
STA - 72 I currently have a 74 on my stock Ottrott. 72 seems pretty laid back more set up for comfort/touring?
CS - 42 - Again a little long, however, this is a small 52 compact frame and I've this little longer chainstay on other small frames. I believe it might have to do with the wheelbase.
The only reason I'm considering this frame is that its an ST which I just like the look of better (the carbon backstays). I've read all the decisions on the board regarding non ST vs ST and it seems the only slight advantage might be desending and conering which my non ST does just fine, so not a selling point for me. I just like the LOOK :)
Also owner does not know anything about stiffness and nothing is noted on buildsheet.
