Charlie,
The numbers all work with no TCO, just by a few mm's. Anyone else on the list with an opinion on the PR10 or PX10, if it has similar geometry?
This geometry is almost 'time-trial' like, moving the rider forward over the BB. It also produces a low trail geometry of about 33mm, a lot less than the current accepted standard of 55mm - 60mm.
These bikes would have to handle uniquely. Is that good or bad?
Thanks,
Lynn Miller

confirm this and their opinions of the ride. I will have to throw a leg
over it tomorrow. Haven't ridden it with a good wheelset w/ 700c
tubulars to get a good basis for comparison with most of my other
similarly shod bikes. It is currently fitted with 27 inch Rigida alloy
rims and what look to be 1 1/8" tires.

angles from the photos. If you want to get a photo, it needs to be
'square on' is you know what I mean.

Hmmm...

Head tube doesn't look overlong as it does on track frames with steeper
angles. I dunno, it might be better to get a photo and have you take it
off from the image.
