Gizmond, I started with the Cinelli Supercorsa pista of about the same size 59 x 57
this has a HTA 75 and a rake of 35mm giving a trail of 53mm
Tommasini suggests a 40mm rake on a HTA 75 giving a trail of 48mm
this makes absolutely no sense to me - I am thinking that what they mean is a HTA 73 with 40mm fork to give a trail of 60mm - i.e a road bike! - evidently their jig is set up to build road forks.
Don Walker suggests a HTA 74 with a 35mm rake to give a trail of 58mm
I am not sure where you get the figure 64mm trail for a track bike - what would be the HTA and fork rake to achieve this - do you have an example of this I can look at - thank you for your input - I am really having to think this through.
