It's more the fact I'm short and I don't want to bash my bits.

I think the Alpine has slightly better angles than either the bfe or the Slackline for climbing, when used with a 140 fork, and therefore probably makes it a better all round bike.
sagged 25% with 140 fork (from manu web sites)
alpine 68 74
bfe 68.4 71.4
slackline 68 72

Is there a geometry chart for the Slackline anywhere? There's a table of measurements, but tricky to know which TT measurement corresponds to the Cotic ones.

Yeah for both the Alpine and Stanton I cans find a proper chart. I can't find headtube lengths for my forks etc.

the shorter chainstays, longish top tube and slack head angle make the slackline such a great ride.
I am a shortarse too, and came from a "14 dmr frame to a 16 slackline but it is not an issue.
