Bump.
Because this thread is full of awesomeness, it deserves to be awaken from teh dead.
Another question regarding geo and slopingness.
I'm on the process of design my own frame, much inspired by this one; trying not to be a copycat...
this just happens to be one of my fav geos I've seen, and since I've managed to have someone custom building wha'eva I want, I've decided to give it a go.
Now,... this is what I've achieved so far: the ST and HT angles are the typical track (according to most track bikes found online), should I be using angles like 73 in order to get a more comfortable ride? The fork
has 15mm of rake, and the TT has a downward sloping (from the HT), of 3.5 degrees. I much prefer sloping like this 'cause of my standover-height is only 830mm (and i'm 6'1").
Any comments would be appreciated, flaming and mocking is also welcome, i just feel like a tool doing this for the 1st time with very little knowledge when it comes to geometry.
thanks
