  • I asked Giorgio from Mister X about some changes to the original geometry or their frames.

    It was suggested that the rear end is too slack and when I suggested shorter chanistays he said:

    "I'm not really convinced to shorten the chainstays and get them to
    355/360, this for two reasons:
    1) By doing that you would not be able to put more tires than 1.5'',
    means that you have limits on the choice of tires
    2) Most importantly the rear of the frame becomes more compact. This
    means you lose stability. Now with 375mm it's very reactive but
    remains balanced.

    The distance between the rear wheel axle and the bottom bracket[SIC] is
    960mm: it's already very compact."

    What he says makes alot of sense and I'm tempted to take his advice. What's the axle to axle length of the 14?
