I've had a few emails now with Orlowski about having a bike built with the same geometry as this forum build. I believe it's based on the Soma Wolverine.
Thing is, I'm out of my depth here. What I really want is something racey that I can tour on. Think an all steel Caad12 with the ability to run 700x38 and take front panniers. And I'd also like to then swap out to 650x47 for long gravel tours and commuting. It must have a level top tube.
Is there a better base bike I should be starting from? I guess if I start from the caads geo I'll have tires touching the down tube.
