The 1983 Dave Moulton frame/fork I picked up is a "Pro Criterium" model. Terence Shaw informed that, "... A Moulton criterium frame would have seat and head tube angles increased by a degree (73 to 74 head with fork offset changed to maintain 6cm of trail) a 1/4" higher bottom bracket, shorter wheelbase......". Can some one advise how much these changes would impact road ride handling which is what I do? Big deal or not? Thanks.
