"bitsa frame" what does this mean? Tommasini already build a road/track sintesi so they ought to have this knowledge - the Cinelli SuperCorsa Pista has a 35mm rake with a 75 degree head angle and I doubt they built this strictly as a track bike - so I reckon 35mm must be near the mark - toe overlap isn't an issue - so is the relationship strictly headtube angle and fork rake or do other aspects of the geometry come into play? what about fork offset ? do 'track' forks have a fixed offset or does this vary also - I feel like I am delving into the dark arts of frame building here
To be fair to Tommasini this e-mail came from Barbara who works in the sales office and I doubt they get many request for this style of bike.
