I have noticed that earlier superforms are "taller" (longer steerer tube) with respect to later models. Is there a particular reason for this fact?
some of this is from memory, but remember a few things. first, the bike has 650c wheels. otherwise, look at where the pads sit on the image of that bike of yours. once we move from scott DH bars to syntace bars we had to account for a 7cm rise in the pads versus the centerline of the pursuit bar. that's versus, say, 2cm or so, maybe 2.5cm, from the bar bore to the top of the armrests in the bike in the image. we had to drop the height of the frame stack to accommodate for the change in aerobars.
