I have been eyeballing champion mondial frames (and monitoring this tread) for a while, and recently found an abandoned (wrecked rear wheel) A-frame. Knew about the better tubing compared to my own bikes, grabbed a functional rear wheel to collect it and rode it home.
I have two bikes at the moment, one ss with fenders and laidback setup, as a bad weather/groceries bike, and one fg with a more agressive setup, as main ride. Both are the same brand, and as i'm a brand-nazi, I'd like to end up with 2 champion mondials, one fendered and one which feels alot faster/twitchier.
So when i was riding my newfound A-frame home, i noticed that the geo was really very laidback, might be due to a too low seat/too high bars. As i heard that the geometry (except wheelbase) doesn't change all that from the more touring-oriented A-frame to the tightest of super-AA's, i was wondering, is it even possible to get a fast-feeling, kind-of twitchy setup on any sort of champion mondial?
Thanks
