Yer I rode the short, not for long though, I just tryed it out for a few days. Deng didn't change them, the 04, 05 and 06 all had the same geo, the 07 has shorter chainstays. I changed my stem quite often as I didn't really fancy having one snap and it ending up in my neck or chest, same with my bars too. I also changed my chain alot and always used a split pin.
