Here's Wicksie's Oak Cycles chop-job photos, if anyone cares.
QUOTE=Wicksie;2548562]So there seems to be no photos of my NS traffic built up, pre-op which is a shame. If anyone stumbles across one, I'd love to see it.
I loved my NS traffic polo bike, it had everything I wanted except for it was way too long with it's 57cm TT.
I spoke Ryan (Oak Cycles) about this and discussed what I was looking for and what he could do, and he did this
The geo is now:
head tube-70 degrees,
rake 45,
trail 68, with 35mm tires.
51cm effective TT
96cm wheel base.
Before and after

My new Oak Traffic
It handles really well and has turned out better than I ever imagined. I feel like I have my own custom frame and am able to put a longer stem and smaller tyres (bang on trend) for better handling and weight saving.
It's going to take some getting used to, to get the most out of it, but after just one session I could turn really tight corners and see a massive potential.
Ryan is an actual genius and I would definitely recommend Oak Cycles to anyone.
The end.[/QUOTE]
The head angle looks well slack now though. Maybe would be better if you put some shorter, zero rake forks on it?
