While the K-9 provides a smoother ride through a hidden shock, the Ridgeback looks just a little meaner and appears to have more downtube stretch because of the tire hugging fender, even though that spec on both bikes is the same.

Chopper is 8' tip to toe, K-9 & R-B are 9'
Like KnotSo said the Chopper is a better fit for guys say under 6', I'm 6'5" and the K-9 with extended controls is a great fit for me.
