^^^^ I love that ti, frame, but I think it looked better with the Easton forks and different wheels.

Are shorter chainstays better? Less flex? less chain links? I like to learn.

shorter wheelbase, more responsive.

but I assume that there is a noticeable weight saving too?

A friend of mine is making a mini-doc / interview with [ * ] and he said that short stays/wheel base is a myth.

• famous British frame builder, who now mainly builds recumbents, and who's name escapes me.

look forward to listening to his facts regarding the above ,not at all surprised it comes from a recumbent builder.

Is it Mike Burrows?

@oldhat it's to allow the rear wheel to come further forward. This is one way of shortening the wheelbase giving the bike 'faster' handling. Not ever having raced a bike on the track myself* i think having a fast handeling/twitchy bike is an advantage in bunch races on the track as they tend to be pretty frantic affairs.

Weight saving is irrelevant, the bike has an extra downtube!

*must resolve this soon!

I know Mike was filmed about a month ago by guys from a skill sharing website, so it was probably him. In terms of getting the facts from him just buy his book.

Matches the gross spokes well enough.

Replace all the white bits with black bits and its all good.
