Well, I’ve got one of these: http://www.vannicholas.com/8/Yukon/bike.aspx so of course you should too!
About as trendy as slippers, but’s it’s got quite old school geometry (i.e. headtube is 15cm on a 56, a Cannodale CAAD 10 is 15.5) so it can go low at the front. Semi-compact so you can get low-ish standover. The geo is also old fashioned – 73.5 seat, 72 head.
It isn’t long in the top tube for a given size though. I’m 5 11 and ride a 56 with a 130mm stem. Van Nicholas used to, and seem to still do, a ‘Tailor made’ option, which I think used to be about £100. That allowed you to specify you tube lengths.
Other than that rack mounts, gaurds, long-drop calipers. That said, you would be srtuggling to get a ‘true 25’ in under SKS guards with no rubbing on mine. I do Audax, club chaingang, general riding on mine.
