The Brawn:
Death of the Spanish BB.
Although I don't really like Fly as a brand, they always have a nice booth.
The Brawn:
I see more frames with taller headtubes which I like.

Surely you can't just change headtube angle by adding an angled spacer to the lower race? If you change the angle with which the fork goes through the frame, the fork won't sit inside the top bearing correctly and force the bearing to follow the angle of the fork over the angle of the headtube. You're basically making the fork steerer run inside the headtube at an unparalleled angle.
dude...:
the spacer isnt angled, it just lifts the bottom bearing up a bit which means the headtube of the frame sits a bit higher up the fork steerer. the headtube angle thus becomes slightly slacker as a result, but it also affects the bb height of the frame and seattube angle

Ok got it. I was thinking they were trying to do a cheap Angleset headset.
