mustard's projects...

I've been spending too long thinking through this rather than just emailing Waltly but I think I'm getting there. I've dismantled the Cotic (for sale here) and I'm back on my Synapse until this is nailed down. It's definitely confirmed for me that the Cotic had too much of an offroad bias and I'm happier on a road bike.

Where I'm at:

• canti brakes
  
• geometry close to that of the Synapse
  
• clearance for the biggest tyres I can (space for the 45mm Velo Orange guards I already have at least) while keeping the stays as short as possible.
  
  

What I haven't figured yet and want to nail down before I start the conversation with Waltly:

• what fork to use
  
• what headtube
  
• what bb standard
  
• how low to take the trail
  
• whether to commit to 1x or not
