@Dr.E
May I intervene since I'm the author of that.
Let me explain:
We started from a paralax, 75 degrees. Then wanted it to match forks he already has (43mm rake), so steper head angle so it doesn't go straight forward to antiporn thread.
Then, wanted a higher bb cause' in his actual track biek he has sometimes pedal strike. So instead 54mm of bb drop I made it smaller, 50mm, nearly close to histogram or low.
Shorter effective toptube, same reason, he feels that his actual bike is 2cm long.
Then, big headtube and small seat tube was to match the road bike. More rigid and all that stuff. Somesay that lolpros are cool but not comfy.
The result is not a beauty, but think it will work.
