This thing doesn't have discs and is not a 56 and is not in my town anyway: https://denver.craigslist.org/bik/5932788362.html Is it a sloping top tube or just the way the pic makes it look?

How does Habanero compare to Lynskey? I have been looking at a Lynskey 250 their prices were better until these I see. I assume Muzi will know or have an idea.
