Justin,

I'm confused. How does a going to a larger size in a given model frame result in a shorter top tube? Also, most larger size frames should have a shallower seat tube angle, can you explain more?

Feng Shui, which literally translates from Chinese as "wind and water", is a four thousand year old system of analyzing and altering the flow of energy in any environment to produce desired change. The premise behind Feng Shui is that every physical object in our surroundings has an influence on our lives. By altering how energy or "chi" flows around and through these surroundings, we can promote happiness, prosperity, and good health, and feel more energized, positive, and passionate about life.

The easiest way to begin, without hiring a trained consultant or totally transforming your home or work place, is to include some strategically placed elements in your environment. There are numerous objects which have long been recognized as having the ability to enhance the flow of positive chi. By adding a few simple objects and following some basic Feng Shui placement guidelines, your space will look more attractive and you will reap the many benefits of a more positive, auspicious energy flow.

So there = may be limits to this appealing and clever work-around, which is why I = remain interested in a Rambouillet.
