Current Projects chat and miscellany

They built it so it could barspin (a very odd choice for Bob Jackson) so as far as I can tell they slackened the headtube, and gave it straight forks. It feels normal to ride, perhaps a little slower steering than my rixon, but not that noticeably.

Yeah, you can see the headtube angle is quite slack to compensate.

The whole rake/offset/trail thing comes round every now and then on here. Track bikes often have more trail and thus slower steering than road bikes, ostensibly to offset the lower rear end stability that results from the high bottom bracket.
