Interested.  When will we see the non headset internal routing version?

As requested by PM, here some linkage analysis.

If anyone has a vector diagram of this frame, I can provide more accurate results

Thank you Julian. 

It looks like this frame has a old VPP leverage ratio.  Not sure if that is good or bad. - https://linkagedesign.blogspot.com/2016/05/santa-cruz-tallboy-2017.html

Are you able to tell if this frame would fit a longer 45mm stroke shock for a bit more travel?

Thank you Ben.  After further analysis, the medium does indeed look like the best fit.

Now to decide between this and the FM 909. Looking for AS and leverage numbers on that one.

How is everyone finding the sizing of this frame?

I've got a medium Ripmo AF with 458mm Reach. I'm 5' 8.5" and find the bike to fit good if a touch long.  A large Ripmo has a 475mm reach and would be too big for sure. 

This S3 medium at 475 reach seems like it will be too big.  But a small frame seems strange to me.

Anyone else dealt with this new sizing and had to size down?

Thank you.
