For Sale: Fausto Coppi Genius race framesets

Hey dfp, in answer to your question, BB height should be about 27cm, standover height approx 79.5cm, exact measurements will depend on choice of track ends and how they are aligned with the frame. The Paul ends that Marxist used are very slim and would possibly lower this very slightly, others (e.g. those cut from plate) tend to be wider and would not tend to reduce this at all. Worth asking about stainless steel ones IMO, look very tasty and don't mark as easily or rust (obviously) - don't know how compatible they are with this tubing though. Cheers H.

SuperTed said that because the geometry on the frame was very tight there was no scope to increase the BB height by slightly bending the chainstay upwards as would be the case on a frame with a more relaxed geometry....Hence with Paul trackends the BB is either the same or a few mm shorter.....hope this helps.
