phatduke, do you know of the chevrons? you guys should meet

sure looks pretty

nope, i'm a noob at all this so got no idea who or what the chevron is

I see what noFrok. is saying as regal said short wheel base gives lower stability but faster steering low fork rake gives slower steering so when we balance the equation we are left with lower stability only. Surely not desirable

YEAH!
Might i add that low fork rake makes steering MUCH slower, and short wheelbase makes steering A BIT faster. For track I can fully understand why you would want that, but for the road? It makes a bike steer like my grandmother! Why would someone want that?

That Low does seem to have quite a shallow headtube angle offsetting the low-rake fork, which is affecting the actual amount of trail. Impossible to tell from the picture.

Crit racing road bikes have high bottom brackets so you can pedal round the tight corners without pedal strike. That's pretty much the only reason you'd want a high BB on a road bike.

Speaking of crit bikes, back to some porn.

Probably a repost from 2009. Sorry.

70's Colors >>>>>>>>

Thats my bike
No xtr (which believe me i wanted and have) but tune cranks dont have the back of the arm drilled out to put a allen key through and tighten down pedal, so had to go with a shimano pedal that has uses pedal wrench

^^ I love the colour.

not porn but the wheelbase on this is tiny an those forks have little to no rake

Why do people not know how to wrap bar tape?

They watched a video on youtube about it once. Everyone knows youtube is the new encyclopaedia right?

Couldn't you drill a hole?

That sounds like a good idea...
Dont want to face plant when my crank arm fails

It would be unlikely to cause you to faceplant but it would ruin a nice set of cranks

Should've used magnets.

There is also a belief that XT pedals are better for shedding mud than XTR ones, which is why many cross riders use XT.
