It has crossed my mind once or twice. Re Record shifters and also the record chainset.
@Matita24 - precisely. He has a front center range and a trail range that he’s looking for. Whatever comes out - as long as it makes sense - is what he’ll build. If that means a 0.1° difference to get a 1mm different trail number that also gives him the front center he wants, that also gets my fit positional to be millimeter perfect, then he’ll go with a 0.1° difference.
For all intents and purposes, the handling of this bike isn’t straying that far from the Seven. I’m riding the same roads that I ride on the Seven, so we agreed it didn’t make sense to move away from what is a very neutral handling bike. Not too twitchy and not too slow. The differences between this bike and the Seven will really be dictated by the tube profiles we are using.
