Bike porn

from a framebuilders POV, that bike is nothing exciting and poorly designed. It has a very steep seat tube angle, even steeper headtube angle and minimal rake (which is the highlight of the build, because it quite possibly matches the headtube angle to give the bike a proper "trail" measurement) and as far as I can tell, it doesnt have just toe clip overlap, it looks like its more pedal overlap. The wheelbase is too short and imho, that bike is too unstable at high speeds. The lugs are a stock lug for that set of tubes, however, the shorelines look ok.

My ethnicity has nothing to do with my style or taste. just ask your mom, it didnt bother her....

OUCH, thats going to leave a mark....

this is from dave moultons bike blog

" Therefore, I maintain the opinion that toe overlap on a bicycle is neither a design fault nor a problem."

" Toe overlap is a result of other critical design factors and cannot always be avoided especially on smaller frames."

"Toe overlap is not a problem because riding and cornering at normal speed the front wheel never turns far enough for the toe to hit the front wheel."

heres the actual blog if you want to see the context and other stuff about why toe overlap doesnt mean poorly designed bike.
