If you built your own frame, that's pretty cool. Did you consider going for a compact geo / upward sloping top tube and a bit more post?
Thank you! And truth be told, Mr. Yamaguchi was the main driver of the geometry in my class, and I don't think we had the option to do a sloping top tube (though the frame, fork, and stem all had to work together and I had to have all of the components picked before we designed the frame.) I learned a lot about templates, geometry, body measurements, how to build for certain body types, etc., so in the future it's something I can play around with. Despite how funky it looks, it truly does fit me perfectly, and that's after a professional fitting on top of the custom geometry.

Hah, I'm flattered this was posted here - but it's certainly not bike porn worthy, like many others have said. Mismatched cages and the like...
My proportions are a bit wonky, and this frame was built on a road stage template that's a bit aggressive. It's a 53cm seat tube with a 52cm top tube and 110mm stem, and though the perspective makes it look funky it was built to fit my geometry and does fit me perfectly.
I would have loved to do internal cable routing, but that's an advanced technique and quite time consuming, so it wasn't offered in my class.
I love all bikes, but Takhions are my absolute favorite. I build frames in my spare time and am working as much as I can to try to better my skills. I have a long way to go, but I'm not giving up.
