And, as I don't want to start another thread, I will use this same vessel to inquire about peoples' problems with short wheelbase.
Again: Torro's (L) wheelbase is listed as being 940mm. On a similar sized Felt TK3 it is 967mm. This does not surprise me as the angles on a Torro are steeper, but I am interested to hear if people deem even the TK3 unsuitable for everyday use. Cinelli Mash with a 550mm top tube has a wheelbase of 973mm and I know those are ridden on the streets. Then again, 973 is a lot more than 940.
EDIT: Torro's wheelbase was with a fork rake of 35mm. Unless I am completely mistaken, with a 45mm rake the wheelbase will be 10mm longer. Not that it would solve a possible problem, but it still makes a difference.
