By way of background - here's my previous winterbike (raceblades added from Nov-Feb).
I've got quite long arms so I need a decent amount of drop and reach to be happy - that's part of the reason for going custom - upright bikes irritate me.
And here's my long-distance offroad bike. It amuses me and pisses me off in equal measure but is by no means fast or modern
So I want something more practical than the winter bike and much faster than the saracen, but I wouldn't rule out some level of eccentricity
