I have for a while been planning the geo for a custom Short Person Geometry touring bike to replace Kate's venerable Ridgeback, which is much too long, and not terribly capable on the rough stuff. Was going to enlist Marino to build it, but then:
I was intrigued, and it turned out this was almost exactly the geo I'd been after, to within a few mm and half a degree on most measurements. Happy days. A deposit was hastily paid. It was only lacking a sick headbadge (and a few minor things like cable routing and useful braze-ons and rivnuts) so after pondering and discussions, I arranged the mods with Ted and started to scheme.
And now it has arrived in all of its stainless glory. Beyond excited. It's a bit nicer than a Marino...
