Geometry time
I'll stick to my tried and tested geometry (parallel 73deg ST/HT and a 58cm ST) these come from my old DeRosa race bike from the 00's.
A modern disc fork with bags of clearance will give me a far higher TT than the DeRosa so I can afford a decent amount of BB-drop without fretting over pedal strike.
I'll go for a slightly shorter TT than the 59cm on the DeRosa - probably around 575mm so I can still run a nice long stem (110-120mm) with comfort (cos I'm a long-stem tart).
Chuck all that in the mix, add a 14mm lower headset race and bish-bosh-bash it's a CAD
