Sloping top tube?

Ideally it would be to change between drops and risers(?), but no, I did not just copied the geometry of the DAMP bike, and sticked on some stem.

I was'nt trying to critisize or put a dampers on things. Most of the people I've talked to who have gone down the custom route, have based things on an existing frame, and just tweeked things (its not copying its flattery). I reckon as long as you have the fit down, go for it.

My XACD plan is based on this design.

A titanium frame with a ISP may be a bad idea, but but feck it. I'm so short I barely use a seatpost anyway.
