My objection is entirely that GP made the future appearance of smaller frames entirely dependent on the demand for these mid to large sized frames. This is a market that is well supplied with other possibilities. In other words, for the 49 % of us that are shorter than 5'4", the logical choice of a mixte frame is being made dependant on the sale of frames too large for us. With all of the WSD revolution that is an archaic sales approach.
I'm confused, who's "GP"?
