Another thing; do you guys have rules of thumb to tell at a glance how 'tracky' a second hand frame is? I personally find it a bit tricky when I see frames without wheels on photos or when I see some half disintegrated thing at a jumble sale.
In order to have the best crank clearance possible the angle between the head tube and chainstays should be as large as possible right? What about the fork angle/position? Large angle of seatstays and chainstays angle means tight rearwheel? Perhaps not? Headtube lenght? Angle of seat tube relative to what exactly? Other things?
