<p>I currently ride a Blue CXC. It's drop is 6cm. I feel "perched" on it if that makes sense??The Hab has a 7.8 cm drop. In all reality, if I was going over roots or large rocks, I probably wouldn't be pedaling and that moment so the clearance probably isn't an issue! I love stability so railing it in the corners sounds very nice. Thanks for your input! </p>

<p>I run one bike with a 7cm drop and one with 8cm drop. With the 8cm drop you can't pedal in some circumstances but man you can rail the corners. I don't remember the height of my IF Planet but I sure felt it in the corners. If I was going to custom another bike I would go with something in the 72-73mm range. </p>

<p>Interesting John. The BB height is kind of an issue. What are you running now? The Hab stock is pretty low but I honestly don't think it would be an issue for me. I tested a friends Carver Ti last night and loved it. I imagine the Hab would be similar so now I'm down to Carver and Hab! </p>

<p>Not a fan of the IF Planet, Cool bike but the BB was higher than I like. I do like that IF is USA made. But I would get a custom Habanero, not as cool but you can get the Geo you want. Geo is everything in a CX bike. </p>

I have ridden and raced a few IF cross bikes and loved everyone of them. Great bikes, solid, incredibly well built, and very little you could do to make them better.<br />
<br />
Both bikes would be awesome, but IF could be built just for you.
