Current Projects chat and miscellany

Thank you. Interesting guy this Dave Moulton. The history bits of his articles are very interesting. I'll definitely read more from him.
To make the HT slacker I have to lower the BB. As far as I know the upper limit for bb height (drop) is around 290mm (44mm)

no you dont you just alter the head tube and downtube lengths to suit ,you dont need a 44mm drop on a street bike anyhow.People ride 172.5 cranks in crits with a normal bb drop and dont have any problems with pedals hitting the tarmac.Unless its for a steep banked track I cant see why you need anything than a normal bb drop
