Something that resembles a bit more progress -
Pretty much decided on the Kinesis CX canti fork, so that means I need either a tapered or 44mm headtube. I'll have to used something like these for the dropout mudguard mount but I'll maybe slot and epoxy them to the dropouts for a cleaner more permanent solution
I really need to decide on that headtube so I know what headset and can finalise the HT length.
Without some proper software I can't really nail down CS/SS space and therefore max tyre size but hoping for around a 50mm without guards and I'll space the guards in to make them nice and neat with the 35ish tyre I'll probably use the majority of the time - i don't know if they'll be willing to do a CS plate but if not I'll take shorter stays over bigger tyres. 420mm stays is a guess, I'd rather shorter but won't go longer.
TT length will come out in the wash but should be just a little longer than my Synapse as I've lengthened the reach 6mm and steepened HTA a degree.
Angle between HT and TT I don't really know either, I think I want something just off horizontal, to give a tiny drop to the ST and giving about 840mm of standover on a 40mm tyre.
